Hyper Link Problem

[bobmayo]

We're having a big problem with hyperlinking here at our office. A big part of our job is creating work papers that consist of Word and Excel documents usually distributed between 4 folders, all contained in one primary folder. We need to hyperlink many, many words and numbers to source documents. The source documents are always contained in 1 of the 4 folders. We need to move the primary folder back and forth between various different drives within our network - sometimes to an external drive.



The problem is the links get "broken." We are told that we must somehow insure that our links use a relative path. We are told that in order to verify that the link is relative, we should right click on the link and select "edit hyperlink." We are told that if the link address shown starts with "C" or "\\ad" - the link is not relative and will not work for other users.

How can insure that my links use the relative path and will work after moving the primary folder to different drives?
