Is there's a safe way in Word 2013 or WFC to change hyperlinks in the text like
XXXX
to
XXXX (some-hyperlink)
?

Are you referring to the conversion of a selected string or the conversion of a specified pattern (via a regex search)?

Hello Hans,

It's about a conversion of the pattern: find all hyperlinks and replace with the text followed by hyperlinks in the brackets.

Why, RegEx seems quite versatile, but how?

The solution at answer #1 here gets you there halfway:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28335564/change-display-text-of-all-hyperlinks-in-document

Then, you can use Find/Replace to change the font of the text that you don't want to be a hyperlink, so that it doesn't *look* like a hyperlink. The part that you don't want to be a hyperlink will still be a hyperlink, but it won't look like one.

So, first use this macro:

Sub UpdateDocLinks()
Dim link As Hyperlink
For Each link In ActiveDocument.Hyperlinks
link.TextToDisplay = "{{{" & link.TextToDisplay & " (}}}" & link.Address & "{{{)}}}"
Next link
End Sub

And then use this find/replace with wildcards:
Find: (\{\{\{)(*)(\}\}\})
Replace: \2
and set the style of the Replace field as e.g. Default Paragraph Font.

----------------------------------------------

1.

two

2.

(then run macro)

3.

three

4.

four

5.

five

I thought Dziw wanted the opposite -- convert a hyperlink into text.
