Help with urls

[elisha cuthbert]

I have a whole heap of urls in a rtf document represented as pictures (i also have the specific addresses) and I am wondering whether it is possible to get something to download the destination url or convert the text addresses into hyperlinks (by the way there are about 150 addresses)
please any help is good help

I would recommend getting the RTF into text format or an HTML file. Pretty sure you can do this using TextEdit. I'll try some things out and get back to you, but that is a first step.

EDIT: I used MS Word to convert an RTF to text. As for getting the links to be downloaded, I'm not sure, perhaps using a download que program would work, like Speed Download or something like that. Otherwise hope that helps.

i did that but the urls dont show up as hyperlinks only the pictures do how do i turn them into plain hyperlinks

If you have pictures of text, not text, you need OCR (optical character recognition) software to convert the images to text.
