I have a user that created a Word document with some links to files on the
network. When he sent this document (either to himself or anyone else in the
company) we discovered that the linked path changed to his OLK folder for the
Outlook temp files, which obviously broke the link.

Since this is only happening on his machine, I am safely assuming that it is
an option in Word on his machine. I looked for some options, but never found
any that stood out in my mind. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi ?B?SmVzcw==?=,

Try Tools/OPtions/General/Web options/Files; if the one about updating links
when saving files is activated, you've probably found the culprit. (Note: I'm
assuming Word 2002 or 2003)
