best way to insert a hyperlink into a word document using automation

Question

Hi,

I am updating word documents which have DOCVARIABLE & INCLUDEPICTURE fields.

Now I am in need of inserting a hyperlink.  So far I have been unable to do this.  I found the HYPERLINK automation field, but I was actually unable to update it in code.  How do I go about doing this?

Here is skellton of my code:

F is of type Fields and myR is of type Range

for j:=1 to F.Count {
   case F.Item(j).Type_
      wdFieldIncludePicture:
          //picture code
      wdFieldIncludeText:
          if(F.Item(j).LinkFormat.SourceName == "QC")
             F.Item(j).LinkFormat.SourceFullName=QCFilePath;
     wdFieldDocVariable:
        myR=F.Item(j).Result;
        myR.Text:="Some text";
     wdFieldHyperlink:
         if(F.Item(j).LinkFormat.SourceName == "LinkToCsv")
         {
             //how do I update the hyperlink now
          }
     

}

Hyperlinks are handled as objects in the Word object model. Sample pseudocode:

Word.Hyperlink h = oRange.Hyperlinks.Add( //parameters
h.Address = "URL path"

and so forth

Thanks for your help/insight Cindy.

Sorry for my impatientce.  I was under a time crunch and office automation is very foreign to me.  Most of the other MSDN forums I am participated in the past you get a reply within 30 min.

Thank you for sharing your expertese.
