Hi all. I am going to be changing a word document into html and I want to
know if there is a quick way for Word to search a purely text word document
and find all the websites and email address (http://www.website.com and
email@email.com) and automatically hyperlink them. Please help...thanks.

If you have "Internet and network paths with hyperlinks" checked on the
AutoFormat tab of Tools | AutoCorrect, then running AutoFormat should do
this for you.
