UNC versus Absolute path for hyperlinks
I have a word document we are using to describe to the team a compiling
process, with hyperlinks to the different '.bat' files to be launched in sequence. That document is on a drive mounted (in our case the document is in ClearCase, accessed through a view) which is in fact a mount on a local folder (ClearCase requires it, e.g. view mounted on the Z: drive, pointing on e.g. \\localhost\views\view_tag) Those hyperlinks are relative to the document current folder location in the view (e.g. '.\compile\main\run.bat'). the problem is that those links are showing up and running (CTRL+Click) using the UNC document location rather than the absolute path and thus fail (\\localhost\views\view_tag\document_location\rela tive_path\bat instead of Z:\document_location\relative_path\bat) Is there a way to set up Word or hyperlinks in a document not to convert relative paths/hyperlinks to UNC but rather use the drive location in which the document was opened from? It seems also the UNC conversion occurs when word opens the document in the first place (Word status bar displays "contacting \\localhost\views\view_tag ... for infomation. Click ESC to cancel"). |
