Get absolute path for hyperlink with relative path
In Word 2003 on Windows XP, when I mouse over a hyperlink, I see a
balloon with the absolute path. However, I can't copy select and copy that absolute path. If I edit the hyperlink, I see only the relative path. How can I access the absolute path as shown in the balloon? |

Get absolute path for hyperlink with relative path
Actually, I did click on that out of curiosity. The resulting data
entry field is blank. Perhaps the balloon message defaults to an absolute path, formed from the relative path appended to whatever base path/directory hosts the host file.

If you don't have text specified for the ScreenTip, then it defaults to what
you have as the underlying hyperlink (as opposed to the display text). -- Suzanne S.

The underlying path is relative, but the balloon message shows the absolute path, which I want to access so that I can select and copy it.
