Did you also insert the \* Charformat switch? If not, the hyperlink will
revert upon being updated.

Hey Suzanne and others,

Thank you again. I have noticed a behavior that I can't quite figure out.
I'm doing a find|replace as your article describes, specifically:

find| ^19 LINK
replace| blue text

This works just fine, the text turns blue. However, when I save the file,
then reopen it later, the blue text is now black, why? But when I toggle
the
field, the field code is blue.

How do I preserve the formatting so when I reopen the file the text is
still
blue?

Thanks for your help,

Woodis

Hi Folks,

I'm using Word 2000 and have a 200 page document that has many
cross-references to Table Nos. (heading number, full context) and
many
links
to Excel cells (paste special|paste link|unformatted text) in other
files.
All my text is black, and I would like to automatically find the
noted
fields
and format the text with, say blue, so the cross-references and links
standout for editing purposes. Is there any way to do this without
spending
a couple hours doing it manually?

I appreciate any insight on this,

Cheers,
