How to add hyperlink to all appearances of a text?

Let’s say I have a long document and I want all the appearences of the word “Google” to have an hyperlink attached that goes to “https://www.google.com/” like this Google. Can this be done automatically somehow?

If possible, I want to avoid having to apply a specific style to the word “Google”.

  1. You could write somewhere Google, select it and press Ctrl+K, add the hyperlink, OK and then copy the hyperlinked word to the clipboard.
  2. Click Edit > Find and Replace (Ctrl+H)
  3. In the dialogue, in the Find field paste the word (it won’t have a hyperlink)
  4. Click the button Find All
  5. Close the dialogue and, with all the found Google still selected, press Edit > Paste (Ctrl+V)

and then make all this a macro :wink:


I guess the OP is : is there an auto-hypertext similar to autotext ?
