Please help...

I'm trying to create links in Word that will be imported
to Robohelp. I try to create a link
(e.g. 'another_documemt.htm'), but Word converts the link
to an absolute path
(e.g. 'C:\help\working\another_document.htm').

Can someone help me fix this? It's killing me.

John

Hi John,

What version of Word are you using and what are the steps
you're using to create the hyoerlink?

I am using Word 2002. I have tried several ways to create
the hyperlink; one of those being the 'create' option that
enables you to select the file that you want to link to.
I can select a file within the same directory and Word
creates an absolute path back to the C: prompt. Not
desirable in my environment.

thx, John
