Followed Hyperlinks

Anonymous

I have a large Word 2007 document containing hyperlinks to bookmarks in the same document.  Occasionally, after activating some of the hyperlinks (ctrl+click) in succession, I want to go back and view just the hyperlinks that have been activated (that is, the followed hyperlinks).  I can’t get “Find and Replace” to work, and I’ve tried any number of things, including:

1.  Find what:  (leave blank), and Format → Font color (of followed hyperlink style, which is

            distinct from font color of hyperlink style)

            This doesn’t work at all.

2.  Find what:  (leave blank), and Format → Style → Followed hyperlink

            This doesn’t work at all.

3.  Find what:  (leave blank), and Format → Style → Hyperlink

            This takes me to all hyperlinks, not just the ones that have been activated

4.  Find what:  (leave blank), and Format → Font color (of hyperlink style)

This takes me to all hyperlinks, including the ones that have been activated (even though there are 2

distinct font colors, one for hyperlink and another for followed hyperlink)

5.  Find what: → ^d    (with field codes revealed, via alt + F9)

This takes me to all hyperlinks, not just the ones that have been activated

Any ideas?

    You can search for the color which is applied to followed hyperlinks, I guess. I don't think there is a better way to do this.
