What does the software do?

In short – Link Repair saves you time and money!

You will be able to replace broken links and hyperlinks in documents in a fraction of the time it would take to do manually.

Link Repair is easy to install and requires no technical knowledge. Within minutes you can be updating hyperlinks and Excel links, and repairing shortcuts too.

The software is an ultra-high performance, multi-threaded application which programmatically edits and fixes broken links with exceptional speed. Link Repair searches for and replaces hyperlinks in almost every file format supported by Office applications (see Technical Details for a complete list). File types include Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations, Visio drawings and Project files. It also repairs Excel links in formulas that refer to other workbooks. Link Repair changes Windows shortcuts too, swiftly enabling the updating of incorrect links with new ones.

All logic for repairing broken links is held within the Link Repair program: unlike some conversion programs Link Repair does not upload any of your documents to external systems. The only communication is secure licence verification with our servers. Security is paramount in all that we do and this includes the security of your data.

If you have carried out a Windows server migration or moved multiple files, there is all probability that many links will now be incorrect. Link Repair from Vantage Softech gives you the ability to update these links with considerable ease.

After our IT department installed the new server, none of the links in any of the documents (which we created over the last six years!) were working. As head of documentation I was responsible for this. It caused me sleepless nights until I found that the people from Vantage Softech had developed this unique solution. I installed it, and within an hour I had all links sorted. Just a simple yet very clever solution. Thank you Vantage.
