Email text:
Text text blah blah contractor blah blah text.

All I want to do is highlight a word (contractor, in this case), then have a macro add a hyperlink to (http-examplewebpage) with contractor (the selection) displayed as the text. I need to have a few different variations of this with different words, so it can't be specific to hyperlinking contractor, it just needs to be a hyperlink to the selected text. It seems simple, and I've found nothing that does this as easily as I think it should be able to be done. I tried recording the macro in Word but can't get it to translate and work in Outlook.

Can somebody do in 30 seconds what I've been trying to do for the last two hours? Thanks.
