Hello,

I have a list of hyperlinks to documents in an excel column that i created by specifying the folder path then adding the doc names and ".doc" to the end. However, some of the links are broken since some of the documents have a ".docx" instead. Is there a way to go through the list, check if the link works, and if not, change the ending from ".doc" to ".docx" ?

Thank you
 

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
just a thought, does .doc* work ?
