I am using word to create a web page. I have a page of thumbnail pictures
that I would like to link to larger versions of the pictures. Does anyone
know where I should put the larger pictures and how to do this?
 
Put the larger pictures in the same folder or a subfolder or a parallel
"images" folder, then select each thumbnail and create a hyperlink to the
image. But depend upon it: Word will mess up the (relative) hyperlink every
time you open the file.

You'd be much better off in the long-run using something like this:

or
Ifranview (free and excellent/compact image software) offers a web page
creation for thumbnails in which you may edit the links to larger images:

I had the same problem with relative addresses for a while. But then I
detected that Word creates a full local path whenever you create an explicit
link to the current document itself using the "File" option (and only in this
case). This seems to make a mess visible in the plain HTML code. Nowadays I
manually delete the whole path of those special links and I have no more
trouble. You can see lots of small photos linked to bigger ones on my
www.verbalissimo.com site, which is entirely written in Word.
