Hyperlinks
If I copy a word file with hyperlinks in it to CD, will the hyperlinked files
automatically copy to the CD as well? |

And you have to make sure that the hyperlinks are relativ only, or whoever clicks on the link on his CD might not find the target. Best make sure target files are in the same directory with the DOC file. HTH Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MS \ / | MVP X Against HTML | for / \ in e-mail & news | Word |

Thank you. What does "relativ only" mean?

What does "relativ only" mean? a hyperlink can be absolute, i.e., referencing the full address, like: http://server/file.doc Dito if the link points to a file on your harddisk: C:\folder\file.doc But it can be relative only, to the file where it is linked from. Say, if the source document is in C:\temp, and the target in C:\temp\subfolder, then a relative link can be only: subfolder\file.doc And if the target is in the very same folder as the source, only: file.doc Using relative links is mandatory if you move both files (i.e.: to CD). Sometimes Word converts relative links into absolute ones on saving or reopening, and I seem to remember there are settings in Tools | Options "somewhere" (Hyperlink base) which need to be unchecked to be on the safe side (but I cannot test right now).

Robert, Do you know what option in Word cause relative links to be converted
to absolute ones. I had a co-worker review a document located on our network, after they reviewed and saved their changes all the links in the document were converted to absolute links and the document does not reside there. see example below {"HYPERLINK"../../reference.pdf} changed to: file:///c:\Documents and Settings\thomas\Local Settings\Reference.pdf "Robert M.

I'd check the HYPERLINK BASE (if there's any in your unnamed version of Word). But since I don't have a server at hand right now, I can't even test all that easily ... :-) HTH Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MSFT | \ / | MVP | Scientific Reports X Against HTML | for | with Word? / \ in e-mail & news | Word | http://www.masteringword.eu/ |

Thanks Robert. I checked the hyperbase of the co-worker and it was empty.
Its a mystery. I suspect she moved the document, reviewed it, saved it and then moved it back to the original location. This may have caused the links to change. "Robert M.
