I believe this question is probably related to the issue described in
"hyperlinks in word" from 3/2008. I am using Word 2003 and have unchecked
"updatelinksonsave" under *Tools Options General Web Options
Files. However, sometimes when I create a hyperlink (via navigating across
the network), processing "looks" like it is building an absolute path but
when I move the doc containing the hyperlink to another location, the
hyperlink "changes" to show the new path - i.e. it's behaving as if the path
I created were relative, not absolute.
Others have seen this occur, too, but we have no explanation. Thanks in
advance for any help.

I had a similar problem, in that all my links had the first part of
the path removed and "../../../" inserted in its place, such that the
hyperlinks no longer did anything at all.

I think that I have prevented it by switching of the update on saving,
but I don't understand why this particular update kept happening.

Neither the document containing the links nor the documents linked to
were moved, and yet Word was altering the hyperlinks such that they
wouldn't work at all.
