Macro for auto-linking words to pages.

Question

Does a macro within confluence exist, whereby if a certain word exists on a page, that word becomes automatically hyperlinked out to a specific page/location? For example, if a page contains multiple mentions of the word “apple” that macro would set up for every word of “apple” to link to the page where the main subject is "apple”.

That's a good idea too.

Hi Ken:

I don't have an answer, but I like the idea. Here are some additional variations. I'd like to see phrases as well as words. So, if I type Confluence, it would link to the tool whereas if I type Confluence Help, it would link to the user documentation. Also, it would be great to have a search and replace utility so that it could search all pages for the word apple and replace it with the link.

Thanks, Sandy
