link to a word doc in CD
Hi All
Not sure this is the correct place to post this but I have a large number of Word docs (and a couple of Excel) which will be burned to a CD and a main Word document which will hyperlink to these documents (example: click here to see link.doc etc). However I am working on my C-drive so when I create the links to the main document they will not be targeting the correct place (once burned to CD) - Is there a way so the hyperlink will look in the CD to open the document (not the original C-drive - I guess so it is always looking for the file name within the folder it is stored) Any help greatly appreciated Kind regards Rexmann |

link to a word doc in CD
I just ran a test of a Word doc (v.'02) containing a link to an Excel
spreadsheet in the same directory. Copied both to a flash drive. The spreadsheet could be opened from within the doc, in both Vista and WinXP. -- TedMi "rexmann" wrote: Hi All Not sure this is the correct place to post this but I have a large number of Word docs (and a couple of Excel) which will be burned to a CD and a main Word document which will hyperlink to these documents (example: click here to see link.doc etc).

Hi rexmann,
What you need to use is relative paths for the links. Excel does that automatically. To see how to implement relative paths in Word, check out the solution I've posted at: http://www.wopr.com/cgi-bin/w3t/show...?Number=670027 -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "rexmann" wrote in message ...
