Changing a group of hyperlinks in a word 2007 Doc.

[mfriedl1]

I have a single document that has serveral occuances of the same hyperlink
(the text showing varies slightly but the hyperlink on all are the same) I
am trying to figure out if there is a way to change them all at once, or
maybe "group" them together so that if I edit one of the instances, all other
instances change as well.

I've tried toggleing to the hyperlink view (atl-f9) and doing a find and
replace for the old url with the new one, but it doesn't seem to work.

If anyone knows how to do this I'd very much appreciate the help.

What you're doing with Find should work, but note that it changes only the
underlying URL; it does NOT change either the display text (not an issue
here, but that can be done separately with Find) or the ScreenTip text.
Probably the step you're missing is updating the fields: after running the
Find, do Ctrl+A, F9 to update the links.
