How to link to documents stored in other directories?

[Dan E.]

I have a presentation which contains several slides with objects holding
hyperlinks to other documents (PPTs, Word, Excel, etc.). I have created this
document and stored it as well as the subdocuments on my hard drive.

Path is something like C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local
Setting\OE\master.ppt

Subdocuments might be several layers below the OE folder.

I know that I would need to transfer the entire folder to another computer
for the presentation to function as designed.

How do I:

Set the hyperlinks to work on a relative path so that no matter where the
end user stores the files the links work? That is - if they decide to create
a new directory and store somewhere else, the ppt links aren't looking in
C:\Documents or something like that?

Keep my folders & subfolders organized the way they are now and have the
presentation be transferable to other user's PCs?

I have looked at some of the discussion on the site and haven't found
anything that speaks specifically to this issue. Any help would be
appreciated.

Keep your presentation and linked items in the same folder. Always transfer
that folder in its entirety.

Steve,
Will this FixLinks work for moved Excel files as well? How and where can we
find this? Is there a demo on the product?
