Removing hyperlinks from footnotes in word 2013

I have written a long book with footnotes.  Some of the footnotes have hyperlinks, and I would like to turn them into normal text before the book becomes a hard copy.  Searning online, I find this is supposed to be done by hitting CTRL-A within a footnote to select all footnote text (that works), and then hit CNTRL-SHIFT-F9. Unfortunately that does nothing at all.  I could do them one by one, but selecting the hyperlink, right-clicking, and then clicking "remove hyperlink" doesn't do anything either. What will work? Thanks.

      Thanks but that does nothing either.
