With 1-200 shapes, each with hyperlinks to 20-30 Word documents, have been looking for internal Visio capability or addons to allow a global edit of hyperlinks. In Word, one hits F9 to Show links, and then easy find and replace. I will need, I expect, to change name, not just path, of the Word files, and can thus anticipate a huge housekeeping chore of keeping the links in Visio correct.

Thanks!

I would suggest saving the document in Visio XML format (.vdx) from the Save As menu. Then you can load the XML file into a standard text editor (I recommend Notepad++ or Crimson Edit) and do a global edit from there.
