Add a comment in the document when a broken link is found

[bluedolphin]

Hello,
I am trying to write a macro that will find a broken link in a word document and automatically add a comment to that link saying "High: Broken Link".
Thanks in advance

It's not apparent to me how Word would recognise a 'broken' link. Besides which, you don't say what kind of link it might be (e.g. hyperlink, OLE link, cross-reference, or even an out-of-date TOC entry).

I apologize Paul. I meant to write hyperlink

[bluedolphin]

I am looking for a macro code for MS word which will validate all the hyperlinks in the word document and the ones that fail to take me to correct website , a comment saying "Link doesn't work" should be automatically added in the document.

Word can't do that - you'd have to automate IE, for example, and use that to test each of the Word hyperlinks. I'm not sufficiently well versed in IE
automation for that.
