Stop Word from changing relative links to absolute ones
Using Word 2002 (SP3).
I know Word's not the best choice for HTML editing but surely it ought to be better than this: I made a small addition to a page of links on our website. The page functioned normally when accessed from my hard disk. I uploaded the page to the website and accessed it to test it--and all of the pictures were blank! I checked the source and discovered that word had replace all my relative links with absolute ones pointing to a folder on my hard disk! I used Notepad to put the links back to the way they were. Surely this behavior is a mistake, isn't it? Who'd want to do such a dumb thing as replace relative links with absolute ones? Especially without telling you about it. Can this "feature" be turned off? -- Bob http://www.kanyak.com |

Look at the help topic "Set a hyperlink base". If it works as
advertised, please post back and let us know -- there have been complaints that it either doesn't work or works only intermittently. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
