Subject: hyperlinks in MS Word 2002

Tod,
        I haven't a clue about bugs in creating Word html web pages!
MS' only purpose in providing a platform within Word to create web pages was
in providing a transport to retain Word Formatting and then being able to
return that html page via transport back in to a Word Document.

IMO, using Word to create web pages is an embarrassment.
Even the OLD free Front Page Express (Win 95 and OE Sp1 or 2 or search
Google) does a more efficient job of creating web pages than Word.

URL's in an intranet should be not function any different than an internet
URL. If you have a problem with URL's than I'm more likely to believe it to
be a server problem rather than a html problem.

I'm not sure what extra folder your referring to? I don't use xml.
If you provide an example with an internet url, I'll be glad to take a look
and offer a solution. Although it will not be a Word solution.

Hi Tod,

Are the locations in the Intranet File Folders and documents
or an http:// link?

Do you have the same issue in linking to a document in a folder
outside of my documents in on you hard drive?

If you use Alt+F9 in the .DOC file to show the field code formatting
what is the content of the {Hyperlink ...} field both when you save
as a .DOC and when you save as .HTM from Word?

=======

I have a problem of accessing intranet hyperlinks within
MS Word docs once they are saved.  After saving, when i
ctrl-click the hyperlink i get the following message:

"The address of this site is not valid. Check the address
and try again."

Keep in mind the address is pointing to a UNC specific
location on the network not out on the Internet.  When i
try to edit the hyperlink, the path is seperated by
forward slashes (though i used backward slashes to save
them).

It does work when i save the "Doc" in a "html" format,
but then i get an extra folder the houses unneccessary
xml code.  and i don't want that.  i just want to create
a simple doc that allows me to jump to an attached file
or doc.

is this a bug? or has MS intentionally made it more
complicated?

thx-
