Capturing a Hyperlink Event

[Todd]

I need to know if there is any way to capture a hyperlink click before it
goes to Word. I need to pop up a dialog prior to the event itself.

Thanks,
Todd

There's no specific event for this. The only thing I can think of is
embedding the hyperlink within a MACROBUTTON field, where the macro
mentioned in the field pops up the dialog before following the hyperlink.
But this requires a specially processed document.

Replace the Hyperlink field with a Macrobutton field. Write a macro that
pops up your dialog then calls the hyperlink.

There is a "selection change" event that you can trap. You
would then perform the following check to determine if you
are on a hyperlink.

Selection.Hyperlinks.Count
