We are using hyperlinks in Word documents on our network. When someone
copies the document to make a change, the hyperlink changes to the directory
where they copied the files. It appears to be using relative addressing. If
the original is say "G:\test.doc" and has a hyperlink to "G:\test.xls", when
they copy "G:\test.doc" to "M:\test.doc" the hyperlink changes to
"M:\test.xls" which does not exist. Can we change this behavior?

Thank you,

Joel

I'm not sure, but see if deactivating the "update links on save" option in
Tools/Options/General/Web options/Files makes any difference.
