Copying Relative Hyperlinks
If I copy just the actual relative Hyperlink in Word created using a
hyperlink base, the hyperlink is changed from a relative link to a fixed address using the full path. If I copy text including a relative Hyperlink, the Hyperlink retains its relative address, i.e. ..\folder\filename.doc#bookmark or ...\..\filename.xls#'spreadsheet name'!cellreference. Since I want references to remain relative, the change to a fixed address represent additional work as I have to edit the hyperlink and change them or copy additional text and delete the text. I don't remember this being a problem prior to going to Word 2003 just recently. Can some help me understand what I need to do to keep the address relative when I copy just the link? |

Copying Relative Hyperlinks
Thanks. You just explained a different posting I have named Relative
Hyperlinks where I move a folder of folders of files from the LAN to my C drive and expected the links to be resolved back to the LAN but were resolved to my C drive. Now that I know, it has and may in the future come in useful when I need an independent copy. I did a bit more trial and errors. I select the links I have copied and use the F9 Update function and it makes the links relative again. I haven't tested Update Links on save yet. Thanks again.
