We often create new issues of MDJ and MWJ in InDesign by starting
with the last issue file and deleting the content, because it's
easier than updating a template when we're under pressure. After
deleting the old content, we run this script to delete all hyperlink
destinations that aren't part of the template (that is, that link to
our own site):
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
tell document 1
delete (every hyperlink URL destination whose ¬
destination URL is not "http://www.macjournals.com/";)
end tell
end tell
It's titled "Zap all hyperlink destinations" for just that reason,
so run with care.
