How do I remove the dotted line created by hyperlink?

[Elle]

I've copied a section of text from a website but it has lots of hyperlinks in
it...i've removed them but there is still a dotted line under the text i
can't seem to get rid of?

If the dotted line is black, it may indicate Hidden text. Purple would
indicate a smart tag. For other colors, see the Help topic "What do the
underlines in my document mean?"
