Hyperlinks in Word change when sent in Outlook
I am using Word 2003 SP2. I have a Word doc with hyperlinks to files in
subfolders. These hyperlinks use the complete pathname to the target files. The following describes what happens when I attempt to mail (via Outlook), copy, or open the Word doc. The following describes what happens when I move/mail the Word doc file: A. When I attempt to mail the Word doc through Outlook the hyperlinks are somehow changed to point to the C:\ drive rather than to the shared drive where the original files reside. B. When I copy the original Word doc to a different drive. The hyperlink pathnames become relative pathnames. C. When I keep the original Word doc file on the same drive or folder in which it was created the hyperlinks remain good. Does anyone know what's happening here? How can I ensure that the Word doc retains the original hyperlink pathnames once it is moved/mailed. Thanks, |

Hyperlinks in Word change when sent in Outlook
Here's what I've done, though it takes a bit of work. I used My Computer to
locate the files I wanted to create hyperlinks to and copied the pathname\filename into the Address: field of the Insert Hyperlink popup. With an explicit pathname\filename reference in this field the links remain. Does anyone know of an easier way to accomplish this? "MCP" wrote: I am using Word 2003 SP2.
