Greetings Forum



I have been trying to troubleshoot this on my own for two days, trying various tricks I found online and finally gave up.

I am attempting to replace the display text of URLs in a Word document (see attachement 1.png, upper) from "http://dx.doi....." to "Full Text", while retaining the underlying link. I am using the following wild card string:

http?*^032

to select the text to be replaced (every link is followed by a paragraph mark).

It selects the entire hyperlink, but the replace operation removes the URL (see attachement 1.png, lower). I thought it might be because I was replacing with two separate words (Full Text), but the same thing happens when replacing with a single word.

No idea what to do at this point. Thanks for any insight the forum can offer.
