  Dim mtgID As String, aRng As Range
  Dim hrs As Integer, mins As Integer, secs As Integer, startTime As Long

  mtgID = InputBox("Enter meeting ID")     ' Ask for meeting ID
  
  ' Find all six-digit numbers (time markers)
  Set aRng = ActiveDocument.Range
  With aRng.Find
    .ClearFormatting
    .Text = "[0-9]{6}"
    .MatchWildcards = True
    ' Loop through each time marker and add hyperlink
    Do While .Execute
      ' Get hours, minutes, and seconds from time marker
      hrs = CInt(Left(aRng.Text, 2))
      mins = CInt(Mid(aRng.Text, 4, 2))
      secs = CInt(Right(aRng.Text, 2))
      startTime = hrs * 3600 + mins * 60 + secs      ' Calculate starting time
      ' Add hyperlink to time marker
      ActiveDocument.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=aRng, Address:="https://ABC?meetingid=" & mtgID & "&start=" & startTime
      aRng.Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseEnd
    Loop
  End With
End Sub

Many thanks for your help! It works but the time it calculated is not correct. May you please help me to figure out why......T^T Again, Thanks for your help!
