hyperlinks in Word 02 XP

[Jason Sennitt]

Hi, I'm trying to hyperlink documents in word where all the files will be on
a CD. How can I hyperlink the files when I don't know if the CD will be run
from the D, E or Z drive??!

Please Help!

thanks
Jason

Keep all the files in the same folder and make sure the hyperlinks are
relative.

Set a hyperlink base

First:

Set a hyperlink base

Show All​

Hide All​

Use this procedure when you want to set a hyperlink base (hyperlink base: When a relative link is based on a path you specify (the first part of the path that is shared by the file containing the hyperlink and the destination file), that path is the hyperlink base.) for all the hyperlinks (hyperlink: Colored and underlined text or a graphic that you click to go to a file, a location in a file, a Web page on the World Wide Web, or a Web page on an intranet. Hyperlinks can also go to newsgroups and to Gopher, Telnet, and FTP sites.) or URLs (Uniform Resource Locator (URL): An address that specifies a protocol (such as HTTP or FTP) and a location of an object, document, World Wide Web page, or other destination on the Internet or an intranet, for example: http://www.microsoft.com/.) in a document — for example, when you are creating a document for your company's intranet, and all the links are going to the same main location.

1. Open the document for which you want to set a hyperlink base.
2. On the File menu, click Properties, and then click the Summary tab.
3. In the Hyperlink base box, type the path you want to use for all the hyperlinks you create in this document. For example: /mydocuments

Note You can override the hyperlink base by typing the full address for the hyperlink in the Insert Hyperlink dialog box.

Hope that helps.
