How do I remove all the hyperlinks and citations when I paste an article in MS word from wikipedia in one go?

How do i do all this without wasting much time?

After you paste your link in Word, right click and then select Remove Hyperlink.

before pasting it, go to edit > paste special > unformatted text

In MS Word when you paste it gives you an option at the bottom of the page an option to select formatting options. It comes up as a little square and you click on it and you select keep text only. That will remove the hyperlinks for you.

Find the page you want. On the left hand corner there is a link that says "Printable version." This version does not contain hyperlinks.
