Changing Hyperlinks, absolute to relative and preserving them
Hyperlinks in Publisher, batch changing old hyperlinks and converting
absolute hyperlinks to relative hyperlinks. A document was written in Publisher (.html the report will be viewed through a browser) with many absolute hyperlinks. It was transferred onto the network at base from a HDD, but will ultimately be supplied on a CD where it will almost certainly be transferred to another network for use. All the old hyperlinks are related to the isolated system and know no longer work; they were supposed to be relative but created by mistake as absolute. First is there an easy way to batch convert old absolute hyperlinks to relative hyperlinks and then preserve this new links regardless of where or how it is passed around? All the hyperlinks are to documents within the reports own folders and sub- directory folder system. It a basic sub-folder system, may be 3 levels at most. Any ideas? |

Changing Hyperlinks, absolute to relative and preserving them
classic example of why internal website links should be relative not
absolute. you may try search and replace on the original Pub file, that may work but its bound to be tedious anyway. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rob Giordano Microsoft MVP Expression Web "Bergen" u59656@uwe wrote in message news:a733362db68b8@uwe...
