SYMPTOMS
When you use the Visual Basic for Applications "For...Each...Next" statement to delete Hyperlinks using the Hyperlinks collection, not all members of the collection are deleted.



WORKAROUND
Microsoft provides programming examples for illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied. This includes, but is not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures. Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific requirements. Rather than using the "For...Each...Next" statement to remove the hyperlinks from your document, as in the following example: Sub RemoveHyperLinks For Each h In ActiveDocument.Hyperlinks h.Delete Next MsgBox ActiveDocument.Hyperlinks.Count End Sub use the "Do...Until...Loop" statement to remove the hyperlinks: Sub RemoveHyperLinks With ActiveDocument Do Until .Hyperlinks.Count = 0 .Hyperlinks(1).Delete Loop MsgBox .Hyperlinks.Count End With End Sub



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
