\..\..\..\..\..\..\..\filename.doc (want FULL path displayed)

[NewAdmin]

Hello.
I am using Microsoft Office Word 2003
When I insert a hyperlink I like to see the full path, not the relative
path.

I've searched through Microsoft Office Word 2003 "help" but could not
find it.

Is there a setting that I am missing?

Also, how do I apply this setting for ALL users in my Windows XP
Professional environment?

Thank you,
New

You're not missing anything: Word just tries to be smarter than the
people who use it. If the thing you're linking to is in the same path
hierarchy, Word generates a relative path. All you can do to force the
full path is make sure the document isn't saved in the same folder
hierarchy.
