Is selection a hyperlink?

[fubar01]

Hi:

In Word 2000 VBA, how do I determine if the selection is a hyperlink or
not? The selection.type property doesn't have this as one of its
types.

TIA

Hi Roy,

Check the value of Selection.Hyperlinks.Count. If it's 0, the
selection doesn't contain (and isn't contained in) a hyperlink. If
it's greater than 0, then the selection contains one or more
hyperlinks.

If the value is 1, you can look at Selection.Type to decide whether
the selection is extended (might contain regular text in addition to
the hyperlink) or collapsed (is inside the hyperlink).

Great idea -- thanks. It would have been too simple to allow this sort
of interrogation to be a property or return value of .type or
..information.
