Am I on the right lines of ctl H then:
Find = repeated phrase
Replace = ^& (^repeated phrase)
I saw the above suggested elsewhere but can't get the Replace bit to work. Is it insert the phrase in brackets after the hyperlink plus that ampersand afterwards?
I'm probably being dim.
Thanks
Copy your hyperlink to the clipboard.
In the "Replace with" enter ^c
That should replace it with your hyperlink
Edit. You need to copy the hyperlinked text to the clipboard, not just the link itself.
Couldn't get it to work initially as only seemed to paste the text into the Replace box.
Ended up manually doing it but might it work if I hyperlink the first instance in the document?
Thanks
Yes, just manually create hyperlinked text for the first instance, copy that to the clipboard, then use ^c in the "Replace With" box. That should copy the contents of the clipboard to replace every instance of the phrase.
Thanks. I'll bookmark if needed in future.
Tread carefully - I know someone who accidentally find&replaced every incident of the word 'warehouse' in a corporate report with 'whorehouse'
I mean, it was fine, because it was only his first week in the job so it was soon forgotten about and was never mentioned again
