Select text except hyperlinks?

Question

Sometimes, I would like to change the color of the text in a Word document without affecting the color of hyperlinks. If I simply press <kbd>CTRL</kbd>+<kbd>A</kbd> and change font color, then the color of hyperlinks is changed too and it becomes no longer possible to discern them from regular text.This happens a lot when I paste from an external page and I would like the regular font to appear black, but if I use press <kbd>CTRL</kbd>+<kbd>A</kbd> to select the pasted text, then the hyperlinks turn black as well.Is there a way to highlight all regular text in a document without manually going through and changing the color of intervals of regular text between hyperlinks?*Note: **I don't want to change the style or theme color for regular font**; I want to simply change font color excepting hyperlinks. I foresee this (if possible) being done by somehow being able to select text, omitting hyperlinks, or change color, omitting hyperlinks.*

Answer 1

With basic keyboarding shortcuts this cannot be done. Normally you can Find and Replace something and add Special or Formatting options but this is very granular in your request.

You cannot highlight everything and exclude something from everything to make a very specific change.
