Before you start exploring a conditional statement select your document and do an update (F9) then check to see if your hyperlinks have gone back to their original text. If yes then you just need to add the line



Activedocument.fields.update

to replicate the same thing programatically.

Thanks slaycock. I did indeed check and the text retains its style as hyperlink, accompanied by a field containing the actual link.

I'll keep looking.
