Preserving hyperlinks between imported ms-word docs

Unread post by Yosi Zakarin »

Hello forum –
My goal is to import multiple MS-Word files into a single H+M6 Web help system, and preserve (or quickly re-establish) the hyperlinks (many) between the documents.
Any advice how to best do this?

Here is what I have done: I imported two of the RTF files. The inter-file links appear as Internet Lnks – the H+M6 tooltip says:

Weblink
Target = otherfilename.docx#the_word_bookmark

I then right-click on “Edit” and choose “Topic Link” and change manually it so the tooltip will appear:

Topic link
Target = _the_word_bookmark

It would be great to do a massive “find/replace”! MS-Word allows us to key ALT+F9 to expose fieldcodes and make the change globally. (Does H+M offer this?)
Thanks for any advice!

Yosi
