Relative path for subdocuments.
I created an main document and inserted many subdocuments.
ViewOutlineShow DocumentInsert --- Now I have problem if I open the file (main doc) and want to open the subdocuments, than is problem with subdocuments. The hyperlinks are still the same - absolute and the subdocuments could be not opened. Exist any possibility how to prepare subdocuments with relative path? -- Regards Jan Kratochvil WIN XP Pro SP2, Office 2007 |

Relative path for subdocuments.
I'd also like to know how to do this. I have a master document with 95
subdocs, and manually recreating the master isn't a terribly workable solution. I need to be able to work on the master on my local C: drive, then move the files to a network server with a different drive letter (where my local C: drive is remapped to a different letter). In Word 2003, I just needed to copy the folder to the network drive; since the master and all subdocs are just in one flat folder and since in Word 2003 the links were relative, this worked fine. Since the upgrade to Word 2007, it appears that the links are now absolute, with no easy way to redefine them other than resaving all 95 individual subdocs or recreating the master. Any suggestions (other than to avoid using master documents) would be greatly appreciated. "Jan Kratochvil" wrote: I created an main document and inserted many subdocuments.

I've never been tempted enough to try this, but I've saved links to past discussions on this topic, so FWIW: relative paths master2subdocs http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...72c3f%40speedy http://groups.google.com/group/micro...cb8193dd2ed38c HTH Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MSFT | \ / | MVP | Scientific Reports X Against HTML | for | with Word? / \ in e-mail & news | Word | http://www.masteringword.eu/ |
