Global remove hyperlinks in Pages document

Is it possible to globally remove hyperlinks from a document. I am working with a document that contains multiple hyperlinks. I'd like to globally remove them. This is possible in Word. Is it possible in pages for Mac?

highlight a hyperlink text in preview app Problem 1: If you're familiar with Wikipedia documents, printed as PDFs, they're full of hyperlinks that will open another document in safari. When reading these documents you may want to highlight/underline texts but as soon as you try to select them you're prompted to open the hyperlink in safari. I can delete the hyperlink by opening the inspector, which I don't want to do. Holding command or control while selecting text is not helping either Problem 2: If you highlight a text it masks the hyperlink so to get it back I have to remove highlight/underline I am going to report this as feedback to Apple but is there a solution that I am not aware of

Permanently removing hyperlinks in Numbers v12.1 My goal is to remove many hyperlinks on my spreadsheet. My understanding is that it's not possible to remove them all at once so I've been painstakingly removing them one by one. However, the insult to injury is that the removal isn't permanent. Right after removing it, they're linked again (this happens after I place the cursor at the end of the email address and then space away from it). What am I doing wrong?

Can Numbers menu option for Recent Files be changed? So this is not the most pressing problem in the world today, but it has been bothering me for a long time. Please see the screenshot below - note when Numbers is started, (by default) a user can see as many as the last ten files opened in the Open Recent section of the menu. (The blue block is to obscure file names only and does not actually appear on the screen...) Question: I would like to increase the number of files shown in the Open Recent section of the Numbers menu to 15 or 20 - how can I do that (or can this be done)? Thanks for any ideas on this!

There is nothing in the Pages application, or its AppleScript dictionary support that can provide the automation of hyperlink access or removal. The AppleScript dictionary support for MS Word is very robust, and that of Pages is quite inferior.

Export your Pages document as a Word document, remove the hyperlinks in Word, save the document, and then reopen/translate that Word document back to Pages.
