Ron, I just tried it with my Word 2003 and the Hyperlink points to the file in C:\Users\jax\My Documents\test. You will have to modify the hyperlink to only link to the document, e.g. test
I ran into this problem setting up my web site with Frontpage 2003 and since everything in my web site is in the root directory I had to make sure any hyperlink on any web page, within my web site, only pointed to the file name.
Thanks Fireberd. Will be a lot of links that have to get edited. But I rather do it now than send out a batch of CDs that don't work correctly. Won't make me look good to the clients. ;)
You may want to just do one or two and save that to a CD for testing just to make sure before you do them all. But, I think what I said is what is needed.
Grrrrr.... I updated 5 links in the Word file, burned it on a CD along with the 5 linked pdfs. Three links work perfectly, 2 don't. They all look correctly structured and point at the right files...
I see you have "Murphy's Law" installed on your PC. :smileyvery-happy:
There has to be something wrong with the link or the file name. If you are modifying hyperlinks in Word, it may be best to just delete the existing hyperlinks and create a new ones.
Yes, Murphy's Law runs perfectly under SP3. :smileysurprised:
I tried deleting and recreating the 2 broken hyperlinks in the Word doc. I even tried renaming those 2 pdfs in case there was something odd about their file names and then created new hyperlinks. Same result.
But I solved(???) the problem. I converted the Word doc to a pdf and then all the hyperlinks worked. I updated all of them, converted the Word doc to pdf and burned the CDs.

Just don't ask me...I have no clue!!
Thanks for the advice.
