I create a hyperlink in Word as an absolute pathname to a directory on a
server, eg: \\Lona01f02n\data\ITBILLING

whenever I click "save" the hyperlink changes the address to a relative
path, thus:
.../../../../../../data/ITBILLING

Why? This is absolutely not a valid thing to do. What if I mail my document
to somebody ? this link will no longer work. How do I stop this irritating
behaviour ?

Thanks,

Tony
