Copying Word document hyperlinks
Hi, hope someone can help. I am trying to find a way of copying a word
document complete with approx. 60 hyperlinks to other documents onto a CD without having to go through and edit each and every hyperlink individually to redirect them to d: drive rather than c: drive. I am sure there must be a way to shange all of them at once but damned if i can find out how. Any suggestions very gratefully received. Thanks, Dave Le Feuvre. |

Hi Dave,
You could try using Word's Find and Replace to find c: and replace with d: The quickest way would be to use the Replace All option to change in one fell swoop. **However ... I would make a copy of the original document first and try this out on the copy. Put the copy on the CD-ROM with all the documents it links to and ... there you go. If it doesn't work at least you will still have the original document in its untouched condition. There may be a more sophisticated solution but here's a start for you. Have a go and see. -- Sharon Roffey Community spirit: "A little knowledge goes a long way ... a lot of knowledge goes even further!" :-) "nuckyanddave" wrote: Hi, hope someone can help.

Unfortunately that will not change the hyperlink, only the hyperlink prompt.
To change the hyperlink you must toggle the display to show the field construction (ALT+F9) first then run the replace and finally toggle back the display. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Sharon Roffey wrote: Hi Dave, You could try using Word's Find and Replace to find c: and replace with d: The quickest way would be to use the Replace All option to change in one fell swoop. **However ...

Graham,
Thanks very much for the help. I thought originally that you had solved it but unfortunately the program is still looking for a file labelled e:\\*.* - even though it is now doing this on the d:\\ drive (i.e. when I checked in the Edit Hyperlink command it is still giving the address as e:\\*.* rather than d:\\). Any further suggestions??? "Graham Mayor" wrote: Unfortunately that will not change the hyperlink, only the hyperlink prompt.

It sounds like all you have to do is recreate the same
directory/folder structure on the CD as you have on your hard drive, plus use relative linking. From the look of one post you know about relative linking, so all that's left is to recreate the same folder structure. It might be as easy as just copying the whole top level folder of the web site to the CD unless it contains a lot of other useless data to the web site.
