How to Find and Replace the Hyperlink Property of Text in Word 200
I am trying to replace the Hyperlink address that has been added to text.
So, the URL is not directly viewable in the document; it is the Hyperlink property on some text. I'm trying to change the URL address of all occurrences in the document from one URL to another. Similar to finding and replacing text in a document...this text just happens to be the Hyperlink property added to a text string. |

How to Find and Replace the Hyperlink Property of Text in Word 200
Use a macro something like this (you would need to change if for
Hyperlinks): ' Macro created 26/10/01 by Doug Robbins to update links in a document ' Dim alink As Field, linktype As Range, linkfile As Range Dim linklocation As Range, i As Integer, j As Integer, linkcode As Range Dim Message, Title, Default, Newfile Dim counter As Integer counter = 0 For Each alink In ActiveDocument.Fields If alink.Type = wdFieldLink Then Set linkcode = alink.Code i = InStr(linkcode, Chr(34)) Set linktype = alink.Code linktype.End = linktype.Start + i j = InStr(Mid(linkcode, i + 1), Chr(34)) Set linklocation = alink.Code linklocation.Start = linklocation.Start + i + j - 1 If counter = 0 Then Set linkfile = alink.Code linkfile.End = linkfile.Start + i + j - 1 linkfile.Start = linkfile.Start + i Message = "Enter the modified path and filename following this Format " & linkfile Title = "Update Link" Default = linkfile Newfile = InputBox(Message, Title, Default) End If linkcode.Text = linktype & Newfile & linklocation counter = counter + 1 End If Next alink -- Hope this helps.

Maybe a better way is to use Alt+F9 to display all of the field codes in the
document and then you can use EditReplace -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

How to Find and Replace the Hyperlink Property of Text in Word
Hi Doug,
This worked and much easier than going down the potential path of having to write a macro (which was probably doable, just was hoping it would not have been needed - which looks like it was not). So, thank you for your tip/help...much appreciated. Ky.
