Hyperlink

[Laura Power]

I have a large word document, which will contain hyperlinks to other files. I have put those files and the word doucment onto a CD

After having completed this, I find that the hyperlinks to other files do not work as the system seems to be loking for the files on the C: drive rather than the D: drive (my CD drive)

How do I get the hyperlinks to look in the current directory

Actually that was a bit of a bum steer. Turns out that what you need to do
is NOT specify any path in the hyperlink. Just use the filename without its
path. If the calling file and the called file are then both in the same
folder, the hyperlink will work.

Thanks Doug

I had tried that, but Word turns it to an absolute path, so I cannot burn the files to CD and have it work

I reposted by query and got a reply from Jay Freedman, which I am yet to try

Yes - thats all fine, but not everyones CD-ROM drive has the label D: thus it
is not a relative link.
