Greetings:

We have a number of Word documents which serve as an Index for opening a
number of other files. These index files contain nothing but relative
hyperlinks which point to the other documents.

From time-to-time, we have had trouble with an index file, that used to work
just fine, would suddenly fail to open any of the hyperlinks and very
quickly announce: "Cannot open the specified file."

We have verified that the file has not been modified, since the time at
which it was created and did work.

When we use the ALT + F9 command, the hyperlinks are revealed correctly as
in the following example: "{ HYPERLINK "../../125/12560366.DOC" }." However,
when we right-click the hyperlink, and choose to edit it, the Edit Hyperlink
dialog will reveal the path like this:
"../../../SHARED/GLOBAL/ENGDRAW/125/12560366.DOC" (which is obviously
wrong--and does not work).

Does anyone know how we can correct this problem and prevent it from
happening in the future?

Thanks,

Jerry
