Hi,

I have a word document containing a massive number of hyperlinks.

When I press Alt F9, I see the correct names for all the links, e.g.,

{HYPERLINK "c:\doris\work\A\blah.jpg"}

However, when I look at the file in regular mode, and hover the mouse
near the link, then it says,
"file:///C:\Documents and Settings\Tsao\Application
Data\Microsoft\Word\A\blah.jpg"

How do I fix the links so they actually point to
c:\doris\work\A\blah.jpg" (as the codes in Alt-F9
suggest they should be) and not to this other path from nowhere?

thanks so much!
doris

When you edit hyperlinks, there are actually up to three different things
you have to edit, and you then have to update the fields as well. See
