linking to files

[Guest]

When you link to a file from a Publisher web site, then save as a web page
(or in my case "export to web page" in Publ 2002), the path for the document
is not a relative path and a copy of the file is not created in the folder
with the other web page related files. So when the files are taken to
another computer or uploaded, the link will still look for that absolute
path and gives an error. What's the deal with this? What am I missing?
Thanks.

I suggest referring to
http://www.davidbartosik.com/pub2002/pub2002_issues.htm
for the issues in 2002
plus my FAQ page
http://www.davidbartosik.com/faq.htm
you'll find this covered at my site.
the 2002 version does not include external files, you need to upload those
yourself.
you'll link to the url of the file on your server.
