Word 2010 used to let me backspace to make the hyperlink editable. Not sure why Word 2016 won’t let me do that. Now it highlights the whole link and then another backspace just deletes the whole thing.
If you want to edit your text which has linked, it’s easy just click on and add or remove more words. But if you want to edit the Hyperlink and go to dialogue box. Right click then select edit hyperlink and go to dialogue box to change the source. BUT about changing the hyperlink directly by clicking backspace, i am not sure about that I didn’t see yet even in word 2010.
