Default Stop Word from changing relative links to absolute ones

Using Word 2002 (SP3).

I know Word's not the best choice for HTML editing but surely it ought to be
better than this:

I made a small addition to a page of links on our website. The page
functioned normally when accessed from my hard disk. I uploaded the page to
the website and accessed it to test it--and all of the pictures were blank!
I checked the source and discovered that word had replace all my relative
links with absolute ones pointing to a folder on my hard disk! I used
Notepad to put the links back to the way they were.

Surely this behavior is a mistake, isn't it? Who'd want to do such a dumb
thing as replace relative links with absolute ones? Especially without
telling you about it.

Can this "feature" be turned off?
