Send File for Review
I like to use a Quick Access Menu Bar button in Word 2007 to send files for
review. When a file arrives in Outlook Mail, my office partner can post comments and send it back to me. However, if the Word file has a hyperlink in it, when he tries to click on the hyperlink, he gets a Can't Locate file message. In our office, we save our files in a shared folder on our Exchange Server. Our computers attempt to locate the hyperlinked file on our desktop computers and not on the server where there located. How can I change where our computers look for the hyperlink files from our desktop to the shared server? -- Jerry

I take it both of you see the same network shares with the same path? That
being the case, try unchecking Word Options Advanced Web Options Files Update Links On Save. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Jerry wrote: I like to use a Quick Access Menu Bar button in Word 2007 to send files for review.

Corrrect. We see the same network shares and use same path. I unchecked the
Update Links on Save option. However, the problem still remains. Any other suggestions? Thanks. -- Jerry "Graham Mayor" wrote: I take it both of you see the same network shares with the same path?

The option won't change back a link that has already been changed, but if
that doesn't fix it for the future I have no more ideas at present. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Jerry wrote: Corrrect.

Thanks for you assistance. Actually, the link hasn't changed. When I open the
file on the shared network drive, the hyperlink works. It has more to do with Outlook. When I just hover,in Outlook, over a hyperlink in an open Word attachement file, it's looking for the hyperlink on my computer in a temporary folder. -- Jerry "Graham Mayor" wrote: The option won't change back a link that has already been changed, but if that doesn't fix it for the future I have no more ideas at present. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Jerry wrote: Corrrect.

You should never open documents from e-mail attachments directly. Always
save to the hard drive and open from there. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Jerry wrote: Thanks for you assistance.
