When I add a link to a document that is at a particular LAN location, it
seems to be OK until I save the document, at which time the link is
convertied from something like this:
\\ServerName1\ShareName1\FolderName1\DocName.pdf

to gibberish:
.../../../ShareName/FolderName/DocName.pdf

The server name is replaced by the slashes and dots, and the back slashes
are changed to forward slashes as it if is an internet link rather than a LAN
link. The number of ../ combinations seems to be the number of steps below
the server name. If I drill down through several subfolders, there are that
number of ../ combinations (or maybe one more than that number).

This only happens when I save the document in a network share. Any save
causes the hyperlink to be rearranged. In My Documents I can go through the
same steps with no adverse effects. If I copy that file to the network
share, all is well as long as I do not edit it there.

When I click Edit Hyperlink after the conversion to gibberish I see that the
spaces in the path and file name have been replaced by "%20", if that is of
any help.
