Hyperlinking in Excel

I have found two very annoying things:

1. Hyperlinks in Excel (other than links to web sites) only work if the file being linked to resides in the same folder as the Excel file. This seems amazingly inefficient!!

2. What's worse, backups of the Excel file on TimeMachine accepts the hyperlinks to web sites but completely ignores hyperlinks to documents. All those hyperlinks are gone in the backuped version.

Is this possible???? What have other folks done?

Glad its not just me then !

I have a massive manual that I created last year that operates based on hyperlinks to other folders and files.

My only option has been to run parallels desktop and windows for excel. Quite a waste of money now in retrospect. I also have spent a lot of time in this forum searching for answers to other issues, not just this one !
