Loss of hyperlinks when using PC

[Andrew Krumm]

Hi,

I am currently working on a project that requires the use
of both MAC and PC. When I create Word documents with
external hyperlinks to other Word documents, the
hyperlinks do not transfer to PC. Everything that is to
be linked is located in the same folder and hyperlinks
are set to "relative." Can anyone give me another reason
for the loss of links?

Nope: That's the problem. The hyperlinks are being converted to explicit
path names on transport from one version to the other. The explicit
hyperlink then won't work on the other version.

When you have finished editing, use Find/Replace to put them all right on
one version of Word.

Sorry.
