Relative Hyperlinks

Q

quin

I can't seem to make Hyperlinks relative.

These are just links to other documents in the same folder. If I clear
the "Update Links on Save", the links get converted to something like
"C:\585C5E52\Default.htm". Without this cleared, it stores full path
information, which prevents being able to move the documents to another
path.

I don't know why updating the links in this way results in the
"C:\585C5E52\Default.htm" change. I also don't know what updating links is
supposed to do.

That said, it seems to me you would WANT the full path to be in your link,
that way the document in which the link appears could be moved to any
directory and the link would still work.

Under File --> Properties --> Hyperlink base you can affect how links are
located. There might be a kernel of a solution there, tho having absolute
refs for your links seems like the way to go.
