How do I create a document CD with a main document w/ hyperlinks?
I would like to create a CD with a main document using MS Word that has
hyperlinks to other documents on the CD. I know how to create hyperlinks using MS Word, but wondered what will happen when I transfer the information to the CD... I assume the hyperlinks will break. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks! -- Micahe |

How do I create a document CD with a main document w/ hyperlinks?
I do this all the time.
There should not be any problems, so long as the documents are not seperated, i.e. placed in different folders on the CD. Hope this helps.

How do I create a document CD with a main document w/ hyperlin
So, should I just create the document and put it, along w/ all the files,
into the same folder, then burn it all onto a CD? Thanks! ME -- Micahe "DeanH" wrote: I do this all the time.

I would not put them in any folder. Easier for reading the files from the CD
later. I only know that the links wont work if say: the referenced documents are in a folder that the "master" document is not.

How do I create a document CD with a main document w/ hyperlin
Do put them all into the same folder before creating the links, and be
sure to use relative links that only show the filename, not absolute links that show the whole filepath. When you burn it, either the CD can replace the folder as the main container, or the CD can contain a folder which contains the documents, it doesn't matter. The documents need to stay in the same relationship to each other--all in the same container--for the relative links to continue to work. Two things that might be necessary to maintain the relative links. Depending on how you create the links, you may need to toggle fields with alt-F9 and manually edit some filenames. Also, in Tools | Options | General | Web Options (I think), uncheck the boxes about "updating links on save." If you have subfolders, the relative links should reflect the subfolders, but still not the whole filepath. DeanH wrote: I would not put them in any folder.
