Porting file using hyperlinks in Excel XP to Excel 98/OS 9 environment

I created some hyperlinks in Excel XP and ported the file
to Excel 98/OS 9.

Doesn't seem to work ...

Any ideas? Would I have to recreate the hyperlinks in
Excel 97/Windows first?

Hi,

It depends upon what the hyperlinks are linking to. If the links are URLs
from the internet they ought to work just fine. If they don't, be sure you
have installed the updates for Office 98, rebuild the desktop file, and
increase Excel's RAM allocation.

If the links are to documents on local machines or file servers be sure the
Mac has the proper search domains in the TCP/IP control panel. If you are
hard coding a windows file path as a hyperlink it may fail because the path
separators are not the same for Windows and MacOS. In this case use relative
links instead of full path names.
