I think what Sean is trying to accomplish is relative links that will still
work when the document and linked files (all in the same folder) are moved
to a different folder, for example, by being copied to a CD or emailed to
someone else for installation on another computer.

Subject: relative hyperlinks


Hi,

Is it possible in Word 2003 to create a hyperlink to an image file
that is in the same directory as the document itself, without knowing
the full path?

thanks,
Sean

Hello Sean,
This is the second consecutive day that you've posed
the
same question?

If your not aware of the path and/or loaction?
How could you possibly confirm the accuracy of your link?

Do you know the name of the file you desire to link to?
If so?
Open Windows Explorer
place your active mouse on C:
Select the search icon or option
type in the file name the path will show "IF,"

in the Tools/ Folder Options /View/
and under FILES AND FOLDERS
you have the line checked which reads:
Display the full path in the address bar.
