Restoring web links to text? <Jeff[ at ]unknown.com> 10/24/2008 11:23:27 PM I am preparing a second edition of a book I wrote the text of which happens to contain a number of URLs. For this new edition I wish to check the validity of these urls - which unfortunately are not grouped together in the manuscript. Furthermore, in the Word doc I am working from, the url hyperlinks have all been removed. Is there a way these hyperlinks could be "restored" (preferably en masse throughout the document) so that I could then rapidly check them simply by clicking on each in turn? Thanks. Jeff

Click the Options button in the dialog, and clear all the check boxes except "Internet and network paths with hyperlinks". Click OK. Back in the AutoFormat dialog, make sure the "AutoFormat now" option is selected and click OK. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
