../../ hyperlink error
I am opening a document in Word XP that was created in an earlier version and
the hyperlinks are not working. They have ../../../../ as the begining of the path no matter how many times I try to re-create them. When it is emailed it changes to C:\my documents\... I thought I had read a while ago that this is a known issue, but I am not able to find anything about it now. any thoughts? |
