No file:///c: in TOC hyperlink

[Robert Baohm]

Hi all,
for some reason in a word 97-2003 doc when i roll over a TOC hyperlink
have created (using bookmarks) new links I make or edit don't show th
whole file path of file:///c: etc and instead just shows ctrl+click.

When this file gets converted into an epub file for an ebook, all th
links after and including this 'problem' link are not clickable in
converted epub file. You can see them and they look OK but dont take yo
anywhere.

One last thing, these 'problem links show up in blue where as the other
dont change colour.

Thanks in advance

How did you create the hyperlink? Note that Word automatically hyperlinks TOC
entries by default, so you don't have to create them manually. See

And, depending on how you convert to ePub, the standard TOC field may well
be what is required for conversion.

Standard TOC field?

I had created the TOC manually by creating bookmarks and then insertin
them as hyperlinks. I investigated 'switches' to no avail. I trie
alt+F9 and looked at the 'code' but nothing I do seems to fix it.

I think this problem occurs when using this laptop as opposed to my P
and happens whether I save and edit as .doc or .docx.

Thanks
