relative hyperlink to file

[gdoz]

Hi,

Does anyone know how to do a relative hyperlink to a file in word. If
you do Insert->Hyperlink and you get a link like
c:\desktop\file.txt
which points to
file:///c:\desktop\file.txt

If you then right-click, select Edit Hyperlink and then wipe off
"c:\desktop" from the path, the hyperlink doesn't work. The "file:///"
seems to be dropped from the hyperlink.

Any ideas?
