Obtaining a list of all hyperlinks

microsoft-office

Is there some method by which a list of all hyperlinks in a Microsoft Office 2010 Document can be obtained?

I'm trying to check a large number of large documents (a grab bag of Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents) for broken links, and I'd rather not have to read every line of every document to verify that I have a list of all links.
