Hi, looking for Help!
I've just been given a document to edit that someone else created.
They've used the master/subdocument formatting in Word 97.
However, all the subdocuments are referencing a network drive. I
don't want to edit this global copy, I just want a local copy to edit
and I want to be able to specify the links to these files as relative
paths instead of absolute paths. Is this possible? Is there a FAQ
anywhere that could help me? All the hyperlinks are locked and
word won't let me edit them.
