Saving as HTML converts some links to absolute

Hi,

I have two presentations (say A and B) that I publish as HTML and that
link

* internally to different slides
* externally to each other
* externally to Word and Excel templates in a subdirectory called
Templates


All the links in presentation A work fine.

The external links in presentation B are a mess though. When I publish
as HTML, it makes the links absolute to the folder where I keep the
orginal .ppt files. The hyperlink base in both files' properties is
blank.

In fact, I can't see the difference between the links in A and B, yet
PP treats them differently when converting to HTML. I've tried both
forward and backward slashes, they both don't work.

I can make the external links in B absolute, but people need to carry
this web site around on their laptops and of course, then everything
falls over.

Can someone help me?

Thanks
Hanlie
 
Are the two presentations on different drives? Particularly, is A on a local
drive while B is on a network drive?
 
No, they're in the same directory on one drive.

We have a utility called FixLinks that's intended to help solve linking problems. I'm
not certain it'd help in this situation but the free demo includes a link reporting
tool that might help diagnose the problem. You might want to run that on both the
presentations and see if it turns up any likely-looking differences between the links
that work and those that don't.

I tried this utility and it didn't report any problems with links for
either of the two presentations.

Thanks for trying, though.

I'd be interested to see the report, if you don't mind posting it here.
