To remove the "beacons" in newspaper articles is a kindness.
My most recent news article had over 20 beacons - a sports story.

They must be hand removed. I know of no macro.

1. Open page and select copy.
2. Open a notepad and paste.
3. Beginning at the bottom remove by backspacing
    A. beacons - yellow emoji type nasties
    B. hyper links - blue text - chew until color is gone - retype
4. Open a different mfg's notepad - paste clean copy to new pad.

Sincerely,
Gargoyle
