I have a spread*** of personnel from other offices that
has the usual items: Name, Address, City..., Phone,
emails, etc.

For some reason in the middle of the work***, every cell
has an email hyperlink, and not necessarily for the
associated person. It's in cells that are not even email
addresses. If I try to remove the hyperlink, Excel hangs-
up and I have to task-manager out of it.

Some of the items have been copied and pasted from another
workbook, but there were no macros involved, if that means
anything to you.

So my question is, how do I either remove the hyperlinks
from specific cells or from the entire workbook?
Thanks.
