Word does not, and never has, used relative paths.
As for the macro in the link from the other thread, in most cases all you need to do is to install it and, for hyperlinks, you don't even need it. What the solutions there don't address, though, is what the hyperlink display text says. You could end up with the display text suggesting one thing and the actual link doing another.
In Word 2010, if you omit the path, the link may resolve to the local folder. That's about as close to a relative path as you'll get.
