Default hyperlink reverting to relative path?

I believe this question is probably related to the issue described in
"hyperlinks in word" from 3/2008. I am using Word 2003 and have unchecked
"update links on save" under Tools Options General Web Options
Files. However, sometimes when I create a hyperlink (via navigating across
the network), processing "looks" like it is building an absolute path but
when I move the doc containing the hyperlink to another location, the
hyperlink "changes" to show the new path - i.e. it's behaving as if the path
I created were relative, not absolute.
Others have seen this occur, too, but we have no explanation. Thanks in
advance for any help.

I think Jean-Guy meant that as an answer to another question in this same
newsgroup.

Sorry about this, when I hit "Post" I did have a strange feeling that
something was wrong... I do not know how I read one post and then moved on to
another and hit Reply while still thinking bout the first one...

Sorry again. as to your question, I am afraid I do not have a satisfactory
answer, and I believe no one will... As far as I am concerned, I have never
been able to get to the bottom of this...

All I can say is that I did the exact same thing after reading your answers;
luckily I caught myself, deleted the incorrectly directed post, and redid
it. It's not that hard to do: you read a post, click on the next one and
read that, think of an answer to the previous one, and absent-mindedly click
the Reply to Group button. g

Glad to know I am not the only one doing this! (At least you caught yourself
in time!)

I had a similar problem, in that all my links had the first part of
the path removed and "../../../" inserted in its place, such that the
hyperlinks no longer did anything at all.

I think that I have prevented it by switching of the update on saving,
but I don't understand why this particular update kept happening.

Neither the document containing the links nor the documents linked to
were moved, and yet Word was altering the hyperlinks such that they
wouldn't work at all.
