Hyperlinks object (Word)

Represents the collection of Hyperlink objects in a document, range, or selection.

Remarks

Use the Hyperlinks property to return the Hyperlinks collection. The following example checks all the hyperlinks in document one for a link that contains the word "Microsoft" in the address. If a hyperlink is found, it is activated with the Follow method.

For Each hLink In Documents(1).Hyperlinks 
 If InStr(hLink.Address, "Microsoft") <> 0 Then 
 hLink.Follow 
 Exit For 
 End If 
Next hLink

Use the Add method to create a hyperlink and add it to the Hyperlinks collection. The following example creates a new hyperlink to the MSN Web site.

ActiveDocument.Hyperlinks.Add Address:="https://www.msn.com/", _ 
 Anchor:=Selection.Range

Use Hyperlinks (Index), where Index is the index number, to return a single Hyperlink object in a document, range, or selection. The following example activates the first hyperlink in the selection.

If Selection.HyperLinks.Count >= 1 Then 
 Selection.HyperLinks(1).Follow 
End If

The Count property for this collection in a document returns the number of items in the main story only. To count items in other stories use the collection with the Range object.
