Absolute and Relative Hyperlinks in Office 2003
Hi!
I have a document saved in HTML-format (created in Word 97) with relative hyperlinks. When I use the file in Office 2003 the links are absolute instead. In Office 97 it was possible to choose if between absolute and relative. So.. I wounder how I change between absolute and relative hyperlinks. Thanks in advance, Mia |

You can TRY deactivating the checkbox for updating links on save in Tools/Options/General/Web options/Files Cindy Meister INTER-Solutions, Switzerland http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister (last update Jun 8 2004) http://www.word.mvps.org This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) |

But why the emphasis on TRY? -- Bob Kanyak's Doghouse http://www.kanyak.com |

Because it probably won't help. Word is exceedingly stubborn about this, and
so far no one seems to have been able to come up with a way to make it stop "knowing best." When I was creating Web pages with Word (shudder!) I found that I could manage so the relative links were unchanged on saving (using the setting Cindy mentions), so if I saved a file and uploaded it immediately, it would be okay, but the next time I opened it, I was back to square one. No change in any of the suggested settings regarding updating of fields or links made any difference. This was in Word 2002, however, so it's possible that improvements are possible in Word 2003 (I got FrontPage 2003 at the same time as Office 2003 and migrated my Web sites to FP, so I have no experience with what Word 2003 will do in this regard). -- Suzanne S.

Hi Opinicus,
You can TRY deactivating the checkbox for updating links on save in Tools/Options/General/Web options/Files I'm glad I caught this tip. Word has been infuriating me by creating absolute hyperlinks. But why the emphasis on TRY? Suzanne has pretty much hit the nail on the head. It works reasonably reliably with keeping Word from playing havoc with file paths in LINK, IncludePicture and IncludeText fields. Hyperlinks are another animal, though, as not all the information is stored accessibly in the field code.
