How do you find broken hyperlinks (to anchors)

[brentpedersen]

When I create an anchor and a hyperlink, if the anchor is deleted the hyperlink is "broken" (has a default anchor, the first in my list). I want to find all hyperlinks that point to that default anchor to see if they are in fact broken. Is there a way to search among my hyperlinks for a list of the ones that point to that default anchor?

Have you looked under the Panels for Anchors and also Hyperlinks?

Windows > References > Anchors

Windows > References > Hyperlinks

Yes, but short of check each one (one at a time) I don't see a way to search for all hyperlinks that reference a specific anchor. Then I could search the default anchor and see if the links are appropriate.

The Hyperlinks panel shows you exactly which ones are broken:

Good point. Thanks. I assumed when I opened the "edit hyperlink" that it was filling in a default link, but I think it's just showing my the drop-down list because no selection existed (it was broken). Thank you again.
