Convert URLs to Hyperlinks using VBA

Automatically create Hyperlinks for all URLs in a document

Microsoft Word has in-built intelligence to convert the URLs or Web Addresses to Hyperlinks automatically. This functionality is executed when you type some website/email address in word document.

For some reason, if you want to be done on the Word document at a later stage you can do the following:

Sub Make_URLs_as_HyperLinks()


Options.AutoFormatReplaceHyperlinks = True
ActiveDocument.Select
Selection.Range.AutoFormat
Selection.Collapse

Options.AutoFormatReplaceSymbols
End Sub

Warning: I have set only AutoFormatReplaceHyperlinks = True and not set/reset others. You need to check all options as autocorrect/autoformat can cause undesirable changes that might go unnoticed
