Default Changing a group of hyperlinks


Hi
I have a document with several instances of the same hyperlink. Is there a way to change them all at once or to group them together so that when I update on instance, they all change as well.

I've tried toggling to the hyperlink view and doing a find/replace, but it doesn't seem to work right.

Any advice would be MUCH appreciated

Thanks!

Does this work:

Pressing Alt-F9 to reveal hyperlinks
This displays the address of all hyperlinks (in your case, for example, http://www.test.com/test1
Then just do a normal search and replace to replace the text within every addre
ss which you need to replace (in your case, replace test1 with test2)

Yeah, As I said in my first post, I tried that and it doesn't seem to work right.


Any other ideas?

Make a practice document and see if Search and Replace hyperlinks works in it, which you should be able to do so

If it does, I would Cut and Paste Special the old contents in the document (in question that is NOT allowing you to Search and Replace) into a new document

Note, Use Paste Special, select Unformatted, so if there is garbage in the original document this will NOT get transferred over
