I have a question. I have a stack of word documents and pdf's that contain
hyperlinks to a url that my company has done away with (dead links). Is there a simple macro of something that will allow me to electronically search a word doc for a hyperlink destination url? simple macro? (no vb answers please) Thanks! d |

Press Alt+F9 to toggle from field results to field codes. The hyperlinks (which are a type of field) will now appear as something like { HYPERLINK "your URL here" } Now you can use the ordinary Replace dialog to search for the URL and replace it with something else. -- 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. |

Jay, Great answer, you just saved me a mountain of work. Do you or anyone have advice for pdf's too? Thanks Dave One of the major features of PDF is that it isn't directly editable. To change links in PDF files, you'll need to go back to the original documents used to create the PDFs, or use OCR software or one of the PDF-to-Word converters (http://www.google.com/search?q=pdf+to+word) if the originals aren't available. Change the links in the documents and then regenerate the PDF. -- 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. |
