Modify Hyperlinks - In Mass

Hello,

I have a large word document with many hyperlinks to my C drive
I have moved the documents to a new location on my C drive.
I need to change, in mass, the hyperlinks to refer to the new location.

From what I know, if changing in mass, you should click Alt F9 for Draft view to see the hyperlink address.
then control H for find and replace.

I only need to change the following:
/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft
to
Documents

I made the change through Find and Replace but although I see the edit was made in Draft view, it doesn't show that edit was made when I close draft view and view the hyperlink by way of "edit hyperlink".

I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
Appreciate your help.

perfect. it worked. Initially it didn't work but I think I might have messed up with the F9 after making the edit.  the second time, after a couple minutes of refreshing, it worked.  

thanks a lot.  very helpful.
