Does anyone know of some nifty code or a commercial product for checking hyperlinks in Word? I’ve got about 700 Word 97 SR-2 documents that contain 26,000+ hyperlinks, and it’s certain that not all of them work (either because the authors of the documents haven’t created them properly or because their destinations have ceased to exist). I suppose I could try doing something with VBA, but the task seems daunting and I figured I’d check first for an existing solution.
If it’s relevant, the documents are used to produce 10,000+ pages for an intranet (using a commercial product – “HTML Transit”, version 4.0). I’d prefer to check the Word documents rather than the HTML files.
