Document hyperlink doesn't work when offline
On a laptop, I have a template with a hyperlink to a jpg that is an
offline file. The hyperlink contains the path \\Servername\PRACTICE DOCUMENTS\Reference\UE dermatomes.jpg The hyperlink only works if the laptop is logged onto the server containing the original file. I can also access the jpg file directly on the laptop via: PRACTICE DOCUMENTS\Reference\UE dermatomes.jpg since this is also a mapped drive. Z:\PRACTICE DOCUMENTS I tried to change the hyperlink to Z:\PRACTICE DOCUMENTS\Reference\UE dermatomes.jpg, but this change does not save. It reverts back to \ \Servername\PRACTICE DOCUMENTS\Reference\UE dermatomes.jpg Can I get the Word hyperlink to point to the laptop offline copy of the file only? |
