walking through all hyperlinks in a word ".doc" or ".rtf" document

[lbrtchx]

I think VBA Object language for Word considers hyperlinks to be
objects, so, there should be a way to programmatically load an array
with and/or replace all hyperlinks in a document
~
This is very useful to consolidate documents. Say you know of a
number of web pages with important embedded content links that you
would like to expand after pasting them on a document for later
reading/studying
~
How could you do that?

I searched for an answer and the closer I got was this:

This Replace operation should do the trick:

1. Press Alt+F9 to toggle field codes so that your hyperlinks are
displaying as { HYPERLINK "http://... }

2. Press Ctrl+H to open the Replace dialog.

3. In the "Find what" box, type "^19 HYPERLINK" (without the
quotation marks).

4. In the "Replace with" box, type "^&" (without the quotation
marks).

5. Click More to expand the dialog. Click back in the "Replace with"
box.

6. Click on Format, then Style. Select "Default Paragraph Font."

7. Replace All.

8. Alt+F9 to toggle back to display of field results.

This will remove the Hyperlink character style, leaving the
hyperlinks still active.

You can. The Document object has a Hyperlinks collection.

I'm not entirely sure what you are asking. Are you wanting to replace all
links with the content of the linked pages?
