Works with me using the Insert Hyperlink feature of Word 2000. If I browse to the file, Word inserts the filename only, not the full path.
In fact, if I save the document to another location, Word automatically changes the content of the link to point to the original file with a relative address, not an absolute address. Where it is now, Word made it ..\temp\myfile.doc while it started as myfile.doc when both files where in the temp folder. A very smart program, Word 2000. Have a look at the properties of the hyperlink (right click) yourself. If you had done so yourself, you probably wouldn't even has asked the question, because the answer is there.
I didn't burn the resulting files to a CD, but I'm rather sure that if I made the folder structure on the CD the same as on my hard disk it would work.
Hope this helps.

I'm currently writing on a huge document and would like to include links to other files.
Currently I am only able to include the whole directory to the file, which makes it very difficult for other readers when the file is not in the same location.
For example:
The Word File is in "C:\ProjectXY"
Current file: "C:\ProjectXY\LinkedFiles\linkedfile.pdf"
The reader has the whole ProjectXY File, but on CD and the CD-Rom letter is maybe F:\. Therfore the directory is actually: "F:\ProjectXY\LinkedFiles\linkedfile.pdf".
My question now is:
Is there a possibily to only add the subfolders. Meaning, that word knows where the current File is located and only the following link has to be provided:
"..\LinkedFiles\linkedfile.pdf"
Any answer is appreciate! Thank you very much!
