  1. Use the following code example to find and modify hyperlink address in the Word document:

C#

//Open the file as a stream.
using (FileStream inputStream = new FileStream(Path.GetFullPath(@"../../../Input.docx"), FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.ReadWrite))
{
    //Load the file stream into a Word document.
    using (WordDocument document = new WordDocument(inputStream, FormatType.Docx))
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < document.Sections[0].Paragraphs.Count; i++)
        {
            WParagraph paragraph = document.Sections[0].Paragraphs[i];
            //Iterate through the paragraph items.
            foreach (ParagraphItem item in paragraph.ChildEntities)
            {
                if (item is WField)
                {
                    if ((item as WField).FieldType == FieldType.FieldHyperlink && link.TextToDisplay == "support")
                    {
                        //Get the hyperlink field.
                        Hyperlink link = new Hyperlink(item as WField);
                        if (link.Type == HyperlinkType.WebLink)
                        {
                            //Modify the url of the hyperlink.
                            link.Uri = "http://support.syncfusion.com/";
                        }
                        else if (link.Type == HyperlinkType.EMailLink && link.TextToDisplay == "Email")
                        {
                            //Modify the url of the hyperlink.
                            link.Uri = "sales@syncfusion.com";
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        //Create a file stream.
        using (FileStream outputFileStream = new FileStream(Path.GetFullPath(@"../../../Sample.docx"), FileMode.Create, FileAccess.ReadWrite))
