Default Word corrupts hyperlinks.

Hi

I have an issue with Word. We have all our documents placed on the network
on a fileserver (not uncommon i guess). When I (or someone else here) inserts
a hyperlink to another file on the network Word replaces the servername with
dots, and hence creating a path that is non existing.

How can i fix this behaviour?

Example:
I have a document placed on
\\server\ini$\documents\test.doc
In this document i want to place a reference to a document located on:
\\server\ini$\otherDocuments\link.doc

When i first insert the hyperlink all is fine, and the link works fine. But
when i save the document Word changes the link path to:
...\otherDocuments\link.doc

It replaces the absolute link with a relative (non working) link.

Can somebody please help me here - it's very annoying.

As a note should be mentioned that all of the above has to be on the same
server for the example to work(NOT work:-) )

/Anders
