| 674121 | 2008-05-31 01:06:00 | Hello It's very difficult to search for solutions regarding MS-Word and MS-Excel hyperlinks, because 99% percent of the stuff out there is for web page hyperlinks. I use hyperlinks a great deal in Office. I have Office 2000 Professional with SP3 applied (Word 9 & Excel 9) Anyway, my questions are: 1. Does anyone know of a method or freeware product that allows one to find out if a file is hyperlinked in any documents? Say you want to move a file from one directory to another but are not sure if you will cause a broken link. 2. Does anyone know of a freeware product/add-in that will check the hyperlinks in a Word or Excel document (or both) and list/highlight the broken links? I tried a product from ablebits.com called Hyperlinks Checker, but it wasn't up to it. It falsely cited links that were fine and gave so many "noise" "suspicious" links (hundreds) that I couldn't find the real broken links among them. Basically, anything that had text that was different to the link was suspicious! |

Thanks beama, that would probably work if I used the full name of the file as the hyperlink text, but I never do. I tested it anyway to make sure and it wasn't successful. I usually have something like: See here for details [where "here" is the hyperlink] |
