Thanks but that string isn't in the filename. It is in the pathname. Specifically, in the immediately containing folder's name.

Apologies, but I know no way to get the actual URL out of Word other than the mouse hover image I showed.

I am simply clicking on the hyperlink.

It is:

Code:
{ HYPERLINK "FAIL%20New%20PDF%20Document%20%5b.pdf" }
(obtained by Tools, Options , Include with document [x] Field codes, then Print.)

That parameter is called "Filename" ratehr than URL by MS Field codes: Hyperlink field - Microsoft Support .

Also, Edit Hyperlink initially shows:

Code:
 Address: FAIL New PDF Document [.pdf
Clearly that too is not a URL.

Then when the dialog is closed and reopened it changes to:

Code:
 Address: FAIL%20New%20PDF%20Document%20%5b.pdf
looking a little more like a URL.

Having said which, I think us searching for a URL is of little use, since the fact this destination is a local file means its address is not actually expected to be a URL.

(The extra blank line after each CODE line above seems to be a forum bug.)
