I'm trying to create a Word document that contains hyperlinks to
folders on a Windows 2003 server. The idea is that this memo can be
sent out to employees who click on the appropriate link which then
opens up a folder on the server full of the documents they need to
fill out. These links work just fine, as long as the shared volume in
question is already mounted. Unfortunately, that rather defeats the
purpose of the exercise. These links (properly and differently
formatted, of course) work as intended from Windows machines, but
links to documents (as opposed to web URLs) automatically get changed
to "file://localhost/etc/etc/" when used/created on a Mac. I've tried
turning off the auto-formatting of hyperlinks in the AutoCorrect tool
and using a hyperlink base set in the document's Properties. Despite
being bound to AD nothing seems to work unless the shared volume is
already mounted - doesn't matter whether the volume is available via
SMB/CIFS or also via AFP. Anyone know how to get this to work from a
Mac!?
