All:

I have a Word XP document that contains protected
hyperlinks to other Word XP documents located in the same
network folder (there is a closed padlock emblem to each
hyperlink's left when the document is viewed in "Normal"
view.)

Right-clicking on that padlock emblem brings up the Web
menu, but the remove hyperlink command is disabled. The
link can be copied, selected or accessed, but not cut or
deleted. Please advise on how to unprotect/cut/delete this
link.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.
 
Hi MikeK,

Are you sure you're not talking about the OUTLINE view, and
that these are sub-documents in a Master Doc?
