My company has recently switched from OneNote 2003 to One Note 2007, but
ON2007 does not seem to treat relative hyperlinks to files properly.
In 2003, I could drag and drop a file onto a page, select "copy file into
notebook and insert a link," and it would create a relative link in the form
"file:filename.ext"
When we switched to ON 2007, these links were converted to links with the
address "file:filename.ext," which work fine if left alone.
However, if these relative links are edited in any way, ON 2007 modifies the
link at the time it is saved to insert "///\\" between the colon and the file
name, thus breaking the link. There does not appear to be a way to remove
these characters, because, even if deleted, they are added back when the
hyperlink is saved.
The behavior is the same when creating a brand new link; "file:test.txt" is
converted to "file:///\\test.txt" --and rendered non-functional-- when the
link is saved.
Does OneNote no longer support relative links to files? Is there any
workaround?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
