I've found the URLs in a Word doc often don't work when the doc is PDF'd. What 
I do is Share the Word doc, select "Email", then "Send as PDF". This starts a 
new email message with the PDF'd Word doc attached. Then just copy the PDF and 
paste it to the desired folder.


Thank you,
David Millis

They *should* work in a PDF produced from Word as long as they are valid URLs. 
But I admit that I've never tried it with PDFs as the target in the URL.


To see the underlying URL for a Word hyperlink, it should just be a matter of 
toggling the field to view the field code (the URL string plus a little bit of 
code enclosing it) rather than the result (the link string displayed in the 
document). Word lets you do this globally (for *all* fields in the doc, which 
means x-refs, TOC fields, index fields, and all sorts of other stuff) or for 
the field where the insertion point is. The keyboard shortcut for the view 
toggle is Shift+F9, and to go global you just do a Select All beforehand. That 
should give you the kind of global update capability you're seeking.

Subject: [Framers] OT: Word links to URLs

Hi Framers,



I have a Word project where I have references to other documents. The text in 
Word has the title, but I want to create a link to the document's URL on a web 
page. Here are my questions:



1) When I put the links in Word, will they work in a resulting PDF?



2) Is there a way to internally (perhaps with VBA) see the Word text and the 
corresponding link URL? Some of the URLs are changing and it would be useful to 
be able to batch search on a title and replace the link's old URL with the new 
one.



I have about 160 Word files so I would like to be able to apply some automation 
here. Thank you in advance for any information you can provide.



Rick
