Default Relative Path for Links to External Documents

In prior versions of Word, the Insert Hyperlink dialog had the option to
specify a relative path. I need a link to a separate document in the same
folder and must not specify the entire path. In Word 2003, is there an
equivalent to the previous "relative path" option. If not, is there any way
to do this without editing the HTML source?
Thank you for your help.

Hi ?B?Q2hhcmxpZScncyBXb3JkIFZCQSBxdWVzdGlvbnM=?=,

this should be happening automatically if both files are in the same folder
when you create the hyperlink. Word might be changing the path, though, when
you save if you're saving to a different location.
