  Set aHLink = ActiveDocument.Hyperlinks.Add( _
    Anchor:=Selection.Range, _
    Address:="http://forms")
MsgBox "The hyperlink goes to " & aHLink.Address

If the active document includes hyperlinks, this example inserts a list of the hyperlink destinations at the end of the document.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Set myRange = ActiveDocument _
    .Range(Start:=ActiveDocument.Content.End - 1)
Count = 0
For Each aHyperlink In ActiveDocument.Hyperlinks
    Count = Count + 1
    With myRange
        .InsertAfter "Hyperlink #" & Count & vbTab
        .InsertAfter aHyperlink.Address
        .InsertParagraphAfter
    End With
Next aHyperlink
