I cannot replace the entire URL.
The issue here is that the first half eg "http://server_name/folder1../.."
is common in all URLs.
The second half keeps changing.
I need a way to work only on a part of the URLs.
Suzanne, I finished replacing all the URLs manually yesterday coz of the
deadline.
But, i would like to know the solution in case i get similar assignments in
future

The problem is that if i replace ".." in the URL code,i am worried it
might
have an effect elsewhere in the document.
I want to make sure that i replace only that string (the part of the full
URL visible in the dialogue box)
Is there a way to do this?

Why not just replace what you see with the correct URL?

Hi,
My problem is a bit different now.
When i do alt+F9, the url i see is different from the one i see in
the
edit hyperlink box.
In the code view i see the url starting with ../ and not http://the
string
i want to replace
Something to do with absolute and relative links.
Can you please tell me how to view the full url so that i can update
them?
Thanks in advance,
Vikram

Did you find and replace BOTH the display text (with field codes not
displayed) AND the underlying URL (with field codes displayed), then
F9
to
update?

Thank you for the response Suzanne. Is that just a plain F9?

And note that you may need to F9 to update the fields.

I can replace the text of the hyperlink by using Find

Replace,
but how can I get the underlying text of that

changed
without going into each hyperlink? Office 97 did it
fine,
Office
2003 does not.
When you say the "underlying text", do you mean the URL
of
the
destination?
If so:
Press Alt+F9 to display all field codes instead of field
results.
Then
run
the F&R. Finally, Alt+F9 again to restore field results.
