Changing hyperlink addresses

[Xavier]

I use many references in my documents to other files on
our network. However I noticed that the hyperlink
addresses get modified under certain conditions.

A typical hyperlink I use would look like:
file:///\\\engineering\project\products\my
product\specs.doc

However, a few days later I re-open my document and the
hyperlink has been changed to file:///G:\products\my
product\specs.doc

This is most likely the result of my document being loaded
by some other user who has \\engineering\project mapped to
his G: drive.

How can I prevent this from happening? Different people
in our organization use different drive mapping, and this
changing of the hyperlinks renders them useless.

im having a similar problem

Im trying to create a piece of text with a hyperlink over it, although
my hyperlink takes the form of http:///mytemplate.doc.

WORD 2002 (on XP) is correcting the /// with //, which I don't want it
to do.

Ive turned off the Autocorrect in the TOOLs menu but its still
correcting the http:///

I need to use the /// as a reference for a xslt transformation so dont
want it corrected.

can anyone help?
