Saving hyperlinks to CD
When I burn a Word document which contains hyperlinks onto a CD, the
hyperlinks no longer work. The many documents (jpegs, PDFs etc.) which the hyperlinks refer to are located on my desktop. So, as the base address for all of these hyperlinks refer to the desktop, I saved all of the desktop files as well as the Master Word document onto the CD but this did not help either. There must be an answer to this simple problem! |

Make sure all the hyperlinks are relative. Note that the default ScreenTip
in Word is the full path to the target, even if the link is in fact a relative path. "JDrew" wrote in message ...

Thanks for replying so quickly.
What exactly do you mean by relative? Do you mean the hyperlinks should all come from the same base address, i.e. my desktop (they already all originate from the desktop)? Also, I do not know the default screen tips as I changed them to various titles to describe the links. "Jezebel" wrote: Make sure all the hyperlinks are relative.

'Your desktop' is actually a folder on your hard disk. However, to bring
some order to your project, use Windows Explorer to move the files somewhere sensible, eg somewhere under My Documents. If all the files are in the same folder, you can enter the hyperlink address as the filename only, with no path; otherwise add path relative the root folder for the set of documents.
