Triggering event on hyperlink notifying user before redirecting
I have no experience using VBA, but I am comfortable with javascript and open to learning. Just wanted to check that there was not already an easy solution to this that I am missing, before I dedicate time to learning something big. Is any good way to trigger an alert window (i.e. a user prompt or popup) when someone clicks a particular hyper link. So that, for example, the hyperlink could say: "The referenced document has been attached to this memo as appendix 1, to continue to the original online version please please click "Continue" otherwise x out of this box." And then have the user be redirect (as a normal hyperlink would be) to the page, if they click continue. |

Triggering event on hyperlink notifying user before redirecting
I assume you are talking about a hyperlink in an excel document. You can make a macro in vba and put the name of the macro in the hyperlink where the link address would normally go. The macro will be fired when you hover the mouse pointer over the link.
=IFERROR(HYPERLINK(MyMouseOverEvent(),"Click here"), "Click here") |

As it is, Word has no hyperlink event to trap. Consequently, anything that might be done in that regard (if possible) would probably have to be done through the Windows API.
