For educational purposes, however, we’ve always found it better if people can watch as the excitement unfolds.) (Of course, you don’t have to see Word onscreen in order to change a hyperlink. Set objDoc = (“c:\scripts\test.doc”)Īs you can see, we start out by creating an instance of the Word.Application object we then set the Visible property to True, giving us a running instance of Microsoft Word that we can see onscreen. As it turns out, PH, this is your lucky day after all, we just happened to have a script that can change an existing link in a Microsoft Word document: Set objWord = CreateObject(“Word.Application”) (Which would definitely be true if you were the one cooking the dinner.) However, superstitions involving Friday the 13 th seem to be a modern phenomenon no references to Paraskevidekatriaphobia (or anything simlar) can be found prior to the 20 th century.īut, like we said, this is all superstitious nonsense.
(Although we should note that Peter Costantini, the oldest living Scripting Guy, says he remembers the two biting into the apple on a Wednesday morning.) Likewise, the number 13 has long been considered an unlucky number many ancient cultures believed that it was unlucky to invite 13 people to dinner. Fridays have long been considered unlucky according to tradition, Adam and Eve took their fateful bite of the apple on a Friday. For example, people who suffer from Paraskevidekatriaphobia (a debilitating fear of Friday the 13 th) would never ask the Scripting Guys a question on this day: they’d be too afraid that we’d give them a script that didn’t work, that we’d write a column that didn’t make sense, or that we’d blabber on and on about some arcane trivia that has nothing to do with scripting or with the question they asked. You know, we’re impressed that you had the guts to ask a question today after all, today is Friday the 13 th, a date many people dread, fearing that anything bad that could happen will happen. Tip: Navigate “Back” like in a browser in Microsof.Hey, Scripting Guy! How can I change an existing hyperlink in a Microsoft Word document?.The Alt+LeftArrow and Alt+RightArrow keyboard shortcuts to navigate Back or Forward respectively also work in most web browsers on Windows. (Right-click a blank area of the toolbar at the top of the Word window, and select Web from the context menu that appears.) In Word 2003, you can get Word to show Back/Forward buttons in the toolbar by making Word’s Web toolbar visible. (This is the case in Word 2003 – I don’t have a copy of Word 2007 in front of me at the moment to check.)
These are a good shortcuts to be aware of, since Word doesn’t by default show Back/Forward buttons in the toolbar like a browser does. Quick tip: In Microsoft Word, in a document with in-document hyperlinks, after navigating to another location in the document by clicking on a hyperlink (typically by holding Ctrl and clicking the link, as Word will prompt when the mouse cursor is hovered over a link), you can go back to where you were before in the document by using Alt+LeftArrow (hold down the Alt key and press the Left Arrow key) – similar to clicking on the Back button in a web browser.Īlt+RightArrow also works to go forward once again after using the Alt+LeftArrow shortcut to go back.
