Hi Miks,

The existing URLs will presumably contain filepaths that point to the existing documents, in whatever folders they're located in. IIRC, Word stores the absolute paths for the hyperlinks, even if you omit them from the hyperlinks dialogue. In that case, when you convert the files to HTML, the hyperlinks will be converted to their absolute form and will continue to point to the existing folders. Thus, even if you change just the file extensions in the URLs, they'll still point to the (now) HTML files in their present locations. So, if someone clicks on one of your hyperlinks, IE or whatever they're using will try to open the file that's in your current folder - not whatever other folder you might actually now have the HTML files in.
