That's what your web editor is for. Publish the website, and
globally-replace the hyperlinks with that.
Otherwise, you would need to fire up your AppleScript coder and have at it.
The hard bit is opening each Word document: once you have that done, you can
change hyperlinks with a Find/Replace. Make sure you view the Field Codes
in the document, because Find cannot change what it cannot "see".
If you only have a few files to do, you can open about 20 different
documents in one hit (depending on how powerful your computer is: a
workstation will open up to a hundred before it runs out of puff...). And
that's what I usually do, because writing code to obtain and iterate a list
of files is a chore...
With a little fiddling, you can create an Automator Workflow to do this:
there is a sample "Find and Replace Text in Word Documents" workflow in
Office 2008 Professional that will form the guts of it. Use Find Finder
Items to start it off.
Hope this helps

How do I do a global change of every instance of a hyperlink address within
multiple Word files at the same time?
