Change is coming.
One thing to look forward to would be the launch of Microsoft Office 2010.
I have given the Public Beta a miss and am still hashing away at my old Office 2007.
MS Office 2007 has been the workhorse for me and I still depend on it for my writing needs.
One of these is a useful and free Word add-on called theDocument Hyperlink Checker.
That’s important when a manual re-check is wearisome.
For a writer, a preoccupation with correct reference links is important.
A broken link or a link which points to the wrong source dumbs down his work.
This is where the simple functionality of the Document Hyperlink Checker becomes important in the review phase.
TheAbleBitstool has a single touch button for the link checker interface.
TheShow Allbutton brings up the entire listing for the links in a document.
The total number of links is indicated.
TheSuspiciousbutton filters all the hyperlinks which the program finds problematic (marked with a ?)
The reason is displayed in the status bar of the add-on.
you’re free to also limit the hyperlink check using the three page range options given.
But it has a very narrow definition of what a suspicious link is.
Written as " amazon', it will pass the test.
The add-on also does not give any means to checkup the link through a web app.
For that you have to fall back on Word’s CTRL-CLICK shortcut.
A way to correct a broken link in the add-on interface itself is definitely on the wish list.
I believe it’s the only tool that catches the links in a Word document.
Have you used the Document Hyperlink Checker [Broken URL Removed]?
Do you think it helped you with your hyperlinks?
