Hi DobberHockey,

You don't need a macro for this. Simply create a single hyperlink for a given player in the document, with the payer's name for the display text, cut/copy that hyperlink to the clipboard then use Find/Replace, where:
Find = Player's name
Replace = ^c

If you create a Word document with all of these hyperlinks in place, it then becomes a simple matter of opening that document, copying a given hyperlink, then using the above Find/Replace in the article document.
