ExtraInfoRequired Property

True if extra information is required to resolve the specified hyperlink. Read-only Boolean.

    .Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseEnd
    .InsertAfter "MSN "

End With
Set hypTemp = ActiveDocument.Hyperlinks.Add( _
    Address:="http://www.msn.com", _
    Anchor:=Selection.Range)
If hypTemp.ExtraInfoRequired = False Then
