Creating MS Word 2010 Relative Links?
- by leeand00
Okay here is what I've tried so far for creating relative links in my MS Word Documents.
In my document from the ribbon I select the File tab.
I then select Info from the side bar.
Click the properties drop down from the right hand column. (a bit difficult to find initially, since it looks like text not a drop down, but it's there).
Click Advanced Properties
The <document-name>.docx Properties Dialog Appears
I enter .\ to specify that I want a relative path for the links in my document.
I click OK.
I go back into my document select some text and attempt to make a link out of it clicking the Insert tab of the ribbon, and then clicking Hyperlink.
I then select a document from the current folder, and strip the full path from it, leaving just the name of the .docx file to which I wish to link.
Then I click OK.
The link appears, I try to click it using Ctrl+Click. I am informed that the address of the site is not valid. Check the address and try again.
What could I possibly be doing wrong here? I just want a relative link. It's so easy in to do this in HTML.
