Hi
Pauls Macro works fine but there is another way as follows:

1. Enter CTrl+H to display the Search and Replace Dialogue Box.
2. Make sure the "Use WIldcards" box is ticked.
3. In the Find box enter "(^013[!a-z]* )" without the quotes.
4. Click in the replace with box and enter Ctrl+B.
5. Enter Alt+H.

This will replace all instances of AAA/BBB with AAA/BBB.

In addition all hyperlihnks copied into a word document are entered as hyperlinks. To activate them you need to hold the Ctrl key down when you click on them.

Good luck.

Tony
