Links Get Reformatted During Editing

I recently upgraded from Word 97 to Word 2000 and I'm generally happy with
the result. However, I do have a significant problem editing web pages. I
have a website of some 9000+ pages that I have always edited using Word 97.
All html pages and their associated graphics are located in a single folder
on the server. An example of a link to a graphic within a page under that
system might be: src="barnham3.jpg", where the html page and the graphic file
are both in the same folder.

If I open that same page in Word 2000 and edit it, the link shown above
changes to something like: src="..\..\..\..\..\..\Gedpage\html\image001.jpg",
where the image is completely renamed and is placed in a separate,
newly-created image folder. That new folder must be uploaded to the server
along with the original page or the graphic image can't be found when the
page is viewed. When I create new pages, they also use the longer paths to
the associated graphics, place them in separate folders and rename them to
something different than the original file names.

Is there any way to force Word 2000 to create and edit web pages in the
simpler format that Word 97 uses or do I just have to learn to adjust?

It depends what you'd consider the defintion of the term "learn to adjust?"

1)Your folder/directory strucure of of both your images and web pages on
your local computer should parallel the folder/directory structure on your
website.

2) In the Word/ Web Options/
   Tools / Options / General / Web Options/ Files/ Turn off/ Oragnaize
Files in supporting folder.

3) However even with the above, Word is very inconsitent in editing links.
   a) Word was never intended to be used to create web pages (expecially a
functioning 9,000 page site).

Thanks! Don,

I appreciate your input. I'll try shutting off the file organizer and see
what happens, although it sounds as though I should begin looking for a
"real" web page editor.
