Subject:Relative path to Visio files in Word From:David Rapport <dave -at- netmedia -dot- net -dot- il> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Mon, 27 Jan 2003 17:23:23 +0200
When inserting bitmaps into Word with the INCLUDEPICTURE field, I
edit the path to create relative paths. All is well and good.
When inserting Visio files into Word with the LINK field
(Insert|Object|Create from file etc.), I also edit the path to create
relative paths. However, all is not well and good.
Word finds the file according to the relative path but then
immediately changes the relative path to an absolute path.
Does anyone know how to get the LINK field to accept relative
paths?
TIA,
David
