Remove Hyperlinks in Excel

We have observed that when we enter a URL or email id in Excel and hit enter, it automatically creates a hyperlink. Or whenever we copy and paste data from any website or webpage, it often contains a lot of hyperlinks. When we select the cell to contain a hyperlink, it automatically gets triggered and opens the link in a new browser window.
This is at times very annoying. In such cases, we need to remove these hyperlinks from the worksheet.
Although while copying the data from a webpage to Excel worksheet, we can remove the hyperlinks by using the Paste values command but in this case, we will lose the webpage formatting which might be useful for us.
