Why can't I suddenly open the hyperlinks I'm creating?

[Guest]

I saved a Word document as a web page and am hyperlinking PDF files to each
line in the document. I've done it a thousand times this week. Suddenly
today, even after making the links all the same way, when I go to test the
links with CTRL + click, I get an error message that says "Cannot open the
specified file." WHY?

Is this still happening, or did the problem go away when you rebooted the next
day?

If it's still happening

- version of Word?

- only in this one document, or all documents?

- with all hyperlinks, or just some?

Actually, later I discovered that I was linking from a PDF that was saved in the wrong place, so I actually was navigating through about 12 folders for each link - I guess that somehow caused the problem. When I resaved it in the right folder, which shrunk it down to about 5 folders of navigation for each link, they all worked again. Thank you for your attention, though.
