I need to figure out how to make my own styled hyperlink or the likes. my
editor requires links to be in the following format:

<a href="http://www.lightingfacts.com/">D.O.E.’s Lighting Facts program</a>


but what you read in the above example would be: D.O.E.’s Lighting Facts
program

I'd like to figure out a way to insert this but not to read like this
paragraph below, as its very hard to read this:


The trouble is, the label’s use is not always legitimate. Since <a
href="http://www.lightingfacts.com/">D.O.E.’s Lighting Facts program</a>
launched in December of 2008 there have been 25 cases of label misuse,
according to

do you have any suggestions?
 
This is the normal hyperlink approach, but the end result is that if you show
codes (alt F9), you get:
{ HYPERLINK "http://www.lightingfacts.com/" }


Instead, i'm tring to get the code to look as required by our web languange:

<a href="http://www.lightingfacts.com/">D.O.E.’s Lighting Facts program</a>

I know this seems odd, but i want to be able to switch between seeing just
"D.O.E.’s Lighting Facts program" as hyperlink and the actual text:
<a href="http://www.lightingfacts.com/">D.O.E.’s Lighting Facts program</a>

so i can read the text easily...

its a CUSTOM Hyperlink i guess. is there another way?

Hi Michael,

1. Go to Insert|Hyperlink.
2. In the 'file or web page name' box, enter the url (http://www.lightingfacts.com/)
3. In the 'text to display' box, replace the url with 'D.O.E.’s Lighting Facts program'

In Word, hyperlinks are Hyperlink fields. To show them as HTML code, you
will have to save the document as HTML, and then view the source.

Hi Michael,

What Word shows when you press Alt-F9 is the field code for how Word stores the hyperlink - it doesn't need or use the HTML
hyperlink format for this. If you want/need the correct HTML format, you could save the document as a web page and extract the link
from there. Other than that, you're not going to get a hyperlink that normally looks like:
D.O.E.’s Lighting Facts program
but displays as:
<a href="http://www.lightingfacts.com/">D.O.E.’s Lighting Facts program</a>
when you press Alt-F9. For export to your web page, you could run a macro to render the link as required. For example:
Sub HLink_2_HTML()
Dim oFld As Field, StrPath As String, StrName As String
For Each oFld In ActiveDocument.Fields
If oFld.Type = wdFieldHyperlink Then
StrPath = Trim(Replace(Replace(oFld.Code, "HYPERLINK", ""), """", ""))
oFld.Select
With Selection
StrName = oFld.Result
.Text = StrPath
.Font.Underline = wdUnderlineNone
If InStr(StrPath, "@") > 0 Then
.InsertBefore "<a href=""mailto:"
Else
.InsertBefore "<a href="" "
End If
.InsertAfter """>" & StrName & "</a>"
End With
End If
Next
End Sub
