Problem Not all the embedded hyperlinks in my 2016 MS Word document work in the references section when converted to PDF. They are listed as titles with embedded links.

What I've done Well, apparently, as of April 2021, I found a post this is a "known issue" at Microsoft. I have over 100 linked references. All the embedded and bookmarked links work up to a point then stop for the remainder of the document. I tried using the ALT+F9 which converts them for viewing but can't be copied and replaced as links.

Is there a way to select and convert those back to links without selecting them all individually?

I found that this was possible after further digging:

  1. Press Alt + F9 to display the fields
  2. Ctrl + F to open the search box
  3. Search: ^d hyperlink
  4. Check "Highlight all items found ..."
  5. Click on the Find All button
  6. Close the dialog
  7. Ctrl + C to copy everything that is highlighted
  8. Open a new document and paste.

  • This is a link-only answer, but links can disappear. Your answer should contain enough information to stand up by itself.
