How do I update hyperlinks to the converted docx files?
Just converted to Word 2007 this morning.
I use many hyperlinks to supporting documents. I plan to update all my documents to .docx but all my hyperlinks are to the old .doc versions Any way to automate this without editing every hyperlink to refer to the new ..docx version of the file? Also, when saving a file to docx, is there anyway to automatically delete the old .doc version? Thanks so much. |

To change the targets of the hyperlinks, first display all field codes by pressing Alt+F9. Then use the Replace function with Find What = .doc" Replace With = .docx" and click Replace All. Press Alt+F9 again to collapse the codes, press Ctrl+A to select everything, and press F9 to update fields. Note that if the extension is also part of the display text, that won't be changed by this procedure. If you open a .doc file in Word 2007 (which opens it in Compatibility Mode) and click Office button Convert, when you save and close the resulting ..docx it will replace the original .doc. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
