>>But now, I don't know how to ask for user confirmation. Do you happen to know what are the Word VBA commands to do that? I would need to (a) show a confirmation dialog, similar to MessageBox() in VFP, and get a return value for the button pressed, and (b) conditionally interrupit the macro (similar to CANCEL or RETURN in VFP).

Great! Yes, the MsgBox does what I want, and the IntelliSense helps a lot.

Here is my Word Macro, for future reference, in case anyone needs it.

Sub DeleteHyperlinks()
'
' This macro will delete all hyperlinks
' in the current document,
' while maintaining the visible text.
    If MsgBox("All hyperlinks in the current document will be deleted. Continue?", vbYesNo, _
     "Delete hyperlinks") = vbYes Then
        Set myDoc = Application.ActiveWindow.Document
        While myDoc.Hyperlinks.Count > 0
            myDoc.Hyperlinks(1).Delete
        Wend
    End If
End Sub

While I still don't know how to break out of a macro (like using RETURN in VFP), I managed to write this one without it.
