Don't miss how easy it is to update hyperlinks in a Word document. If you have hyperlinks in a document for which the network folder path needs to be updated, follow these steps:


  1. Press ALT + F9 to display the XE codes in the document. These will show each of the hyperlinks in the document.

  2. Simply Find and Replace the part of the folder path that needs to be updated. Note the path will have double backslashes.


3. Press CTRL + A to select the entire document, and then press F9 again. This step is necessary to update the links in the document.
