Convert email addresses to mailto links?

  • Follow


(Using Word 2003 on Windows XP)

I have several pages of email addresses that I need to convert to mailto 
links to post on an internal Web site. Has anyone ever run across a macro or 
other automated way to do this?

Many thanks,

pjs

A macro is not necessary; the function is built into Word.

Go to Format > AutoFormat. Click the Options button at the bottom of the 
dialog.

In the Options dialog, uncheck all the option boxes except the one for 
"Internet and network paths with hyperlinks" and the one near the bottom for 
"Styles". Click OK.

Back in the AutoFormat dialog, make sure the "AutoFormat Now" option is 
selected, and click OK. All the addresses will be replaced with "mailto:" 
hyperlinks.
