Right-click the link, and select Edit Hyperlink.
IIRC, the field at the top shows the text that displays. (The field at the
bottom is the link.) You can edit the field at the top to remove the word
"below".
BTW, if it's only the word "below" that is the link, then edit the link and
copy the URL in the bottom field. Then right-click the link again and
select Delete (or Remove?) Hyperlink. You can then select "see Section 4.1"
and create the link using the copied URL.
