Hello

I would like a macro or method to find and replace instance of a word in a large word document with a hyperlink who's display text is the same as the original word.

Example: I would search for 'project' and replace all instances with a hyperlink www.example.com with the display text remaining 'project'.

I have found many macros that are tantalisingly close but not quite what I need. For example, a macro from another site will change all the hyperlink addresses in a document and their display text.

I thought I could change all the instances of 'project' to a hyperlink using inbuilt find and replace, then use that macro to change the display text. However, the inbuilt find and replace function does not create hyperlinks, you have to move the cursor to the unlinked text and press space/enter to activate it. That's not viable in a large document.

To be really persnickety, it would be amazing if it only changed normal body text rather than all text, so I could leave headings and headers unchanged. I imagine this is possible by using the inbuilt find and replace to replace only normal text, then a macro to add the hyperlinks, perhaps.

Cheers
Tom
