Hi everyone,
I have been given the following task and I am not sure how to do it. Can anyone help?

I need to do the following:
I have a Word-document with a big number of hyperlinks in it, about 400. When the links were created, they were created in an erroneous way, so what I would like to do is to go from hyperlink to hyperlink and edit the incorrect URL and through some string manipulation create a correct URL and then put it back in again. The error it seems, is made in a systematic way, so there is really only a problem identifying various parts of the string. That is not a problem. The problem is how to do this through VBA-code. Can it be done? Is there a collection of hyperlinks through which I can traverse?

Grateful for any help




Bengt

Something like this:

Sub ScratchMacro()
'A basic Word macro coded by Greg Maxey
Dim oHL As Hyperlink
For Each oHL In ActiveDocument.Hyperlinks
oHL.Address = Replace(oHL.Address, "http", "https")
Next oHL
lbl_Exit:
Exit Sub
End Sub

Dear Greg,
Thanks a lot. It looks like something that I could use. Good that you pointed out that there is a Collection of hyperlinks. I didn't know that.

I'll work with your code suggestion and try to expand it.
