Word 2003 Hyperlink corrupted

[b0r1qua]

Hi, I had a problem with a word document. I created a document with a lot of
links targeting different location in my network “s, h drives†and it was
working for the last 2 years until this week, suddenly all my hyperlinks
addresses change the beginning of the address to my c drive but the end is
correct when I click it will not find the document of course is trying to
open the link document from my profile but the document location is on the
network “s, h drivesâ€. I don’t know how to fix it and I don’t want to rebuild
all the hyperlinks there around 140 hyperlinks. HELP!!!

Hi b0r1qua,

You can revise the link path via Edit|Links, or you can use Find/Replace to substitute the networkpath for the current path. To do
the latter, press Alt-F9 to expose the field codes, go to the first HYPERLINK field and examine the path. Copy the errant portion of
the path to the Find panel and insert the corresponding correct portion of the network path in the Replace panel (note the double
backslashes (ie '\\') that are used as the path separators - you must either use the same syntax or single forward slashes.

Hi b0r1qua,

An alternative option is to use my Field Link Updater:
