VBA Word 2000 - Create hyperlink
Posted on 2011-03-16
Dear Experts,
I do not have any experience applying VBA in Word, could you please advise how to do with VBA converting texts to hyperlink?
Basically I have a file on path D:\ASN\Test.xls, for this I would like to create hyperlink like it is done manually in the attached Word file.
My final target anyway to assign this file name to a variable like FileName = "D:\ASN\Test.xls", and based on that create hyperlink.
In my daily work have several such paths which needs to be sent for people in mail, so would like if the word could generate them.
thanks,

In the meantime I have working macro in Excel for such target in the attached Code,
Do you think that is it possible to do this in Word? The only difference would be just that the hyperlink should be for example in the next row instead of cell A1

Sub CreateHyperlinks2()
Dim FileLink As String
FileLink = "D:\ASN\Test.xls"
Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Formula = "=HYPERLINK(""" & FileLink & """,""" & FileLink & """)"
Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Font.Color = 16711680
End Sub
See if this works.
Sub CreateHyperlink()
Dim FileName As String
FileName = "D:\ASN\Test.xls"
Dim rng As Range
Set rng = Selection.Range
rng.InsertAfter vbCrLf
rng.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
ActiveDocument.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=rng, Address:=FileName
End Sub
