Going crazy said:I have created one word doc with multiple hyperlinks. They work.
Now I've created another doc with multiple hyperlinks and they only work the
first time. When I go back to open the hyperlink it says the address is not
valid.
What's wrong?
That may well be the cause of the problem. What happens if you copy the working links from your other fiel and paste them into thisI shorten the name for the entire path doesn't show.
Going crazy said:Sorry, I only posted the question one other time. I wasn't sure it went
through.
I don't know what you mean by "hyperlink base set:. I am doing the exact
same procedure as I was doing in the other document. I click insert hyperlink
either from right clicking or going to the tool bar. Then I browse to find
the file and then I insert it. I shorten the name for the entire path doesn't
show. It inserts and works. For one time only. I have inserted either a word
doc, an excel sheet, a word template or a pdf file. I used all of the same
files in the other document for which I'm not having any problem. In this new
document some links work for example a word document in one place but then
not in another. They are almost all linking back to the same drive and to the
same main folder... just different files withing the folder.
I have checked my setting and compared from one document to anther and for
the life of me I can't find anything. I would appreciate you help.

Going crazy said:No... even if I don't shorten the file path... it still only works the one

have no problems.

Going crazy said:If I copy the links into the other document they work. If I copy my links
from the other document into the current one... they work. What seems to be
happening is that in the document in which I'm having problems... if I copy a
link into the document and try it it opens.. Once I save the document and
then try and open the link again it doesn' work. It seems to have something
to do with the saving of the file... that's all I can figure out.
