how can i replace few hyperlink en masse ?

I need to change a lot of hypelinks en masse and not one by one. The change i
need to do is the same for all of these hypelinks and the usal replace is not
working for hypelinks but only for all the other as texts etc.

Is there any way to make with one move all these (the same) changes en masse
as we use the "replace" when we want to make any other chance to the
texts,calculates etc ?

If the hyperlinks use the HYPERLINK field code, then you might be more
successful if you display field codes, do the Find/Replace, select the
document, and then press F9, then display field results.

To display field codes instead of field results, press Alt+F9. Done thus,
the hyperlink http://www.google.com will display as:

{ HYPERLINK "http://www.google.com }

Since the field result ultimately is determined by what's contained within
the field braces, when you later updated the fields in the document (by
pressing Ctrl+A [select all] followed by F9 [update fields], and then Alt+F9
[toggles field codes/results]), the changes made while field codes were
exposed will be reflected.

Hence, I suggest the following:

1. Press Alt+F9.

2. Perform your find/replace on the URLs.

3. Press Ctrl+A, F9, Alt+F9.
