Maintaining web links
"Denis" <sysdrk[ at ]wowway.com> 11.04.2006 13:38:49
I use MS Word (2003) to maintain some web pages with simple links. For
some reason, MS Word will occasionally transform my links from simple
filenames to full, hard-coded filenames. I've never been able to
figure out why or when it will do this.

For instance, I have all my web files in the same directory on my PC.
In index.htm, I have a link to another web page, my.htm, which is in
the same directory. When I edit index.htm with MS Word, I simply enter
"my.htm" as the address for a link. Then some day when I am editting
index.htm MS Word will inexplicably change the my.htm link to a full,
hard-coded filename such as c:\MyDocuments\...\my.htm. Then when the
modified index.htm is uploaded to my web site it won't work.

Has anyone else seen this and know what causes this and how to prevent
it?

Denis
