Re: [Framers] OT: Word links to URLs
When you type a URL in Word, Word automatically adds a hyperlink. This is one of Word's AutoFormat as You Type options, and is the default option. When you save the Word file as PDF, the link is retained in the PDF. There is VBA code for hyperlinks, so I assume you can change the URL of the link via VBA. Here's a link which may help you with some of the VBA terminology for hyperlinks, although it does not do exactly what you want: [1]https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19035119/vba-get-all-hyperlinks- in-word-document -- Shmuel Wolfson Technical Writer 058-763-7133 On 22-Sep-17 10:12 PM, Rick Quatro wrote: Hi Framers, I have a Word project where I have references to other documents.

Re: [Framers] OT: Word links to URLs
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. -FR From: Framers <framers-bounces+docudoc=hotmail@lists.frameusers.com> on behalf of Rick Quatro <r...@rickquatro.com> Sent: Friday, September 22, 2017 3:12 PM To: 'An email list for people using Adobe FrameMaker software.'
