How do I disable the creation of hyperlink with tex4ht? They are unnecessary when preparing a paper for publication in one of those … (insert any attribute you find appropriate) journals that require Word.
I have removed the hyperref package, no luck. It doesn't appear in the logs, I have checked that. My command line is:
htlatex paper.tex "word" 'symbol/!' "-cvalidate"
The tables, figures and bibliography entries are accessible via hyperlinks. How do I get rid of the anchors and of the links?
EDIT: The document in question uses the natbib package. Adding
\Configure{cite}{}{}{}{}
\Configure{bibitem}{}{}
to a custom .cfg file didn't change anything.

Generate html that is compatible with word
htlatex 'html,word' 'symbol/!' (note single quotes are needed in Unix shells to prevent ! being expanded)
Open in Microsoft Word. Change to Print Layout
Select all text (or specific regions as you need)
Cmd-shift F9 (Mac) or Ctrl-shift F9 (PC) removes the field codes and replaces them with the text equivalent
Use advanced search for formatting "superscript + underline" and replace with "superscript + no underline"
(Optional) Use advanced search and replace to change colour of superscripts and to increase point size
Save as Word document
I also find that some manual font size corrections are needed for inline (simple) math symbols
