absolute vs relative links
In Word2002 I can't seem to get anything other than relative links for other
files on a server. Isn't there an option to tell it to make it an absolute link? If I type in the full path it will work, but is there a way to tell it I want absolute, not relative? |

Hi ?B?cm9hY2htag==?=,
In Word2002 I can't seem to get anything other than relative links for other files on a server. Isn't there an option to tell it to make it an absolute link? If I type in the full path it will work, but is there a way to tell it I want absolute, not relative? I don't think there is, if the document is saved in the same folder as the files to which you're linking. You might try saving the document locally while setting it up with the links. And make sure the "Update links on save" is OFF in Tools/Options/General/Web options/Files Cindy Meister INTER-Solutions, Switzerland http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister (last update Jun 8 2004) http://www.word.mvps.org This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) |

Word attempts to mimic HTML construction when it creates links. If the link is not fully qualified (i.e. absolute=defined) then 'relative' is to be from the point where the page is opened, except where a Hyperlink Base BASE=... statement is set. In Word you set the base through File=Properties. ======== "roachmj" wrote in message ... In Word2002 I can't seem to get anything other than relative links for other files on a server.
