Setting a hyperlink base introduces another problem.
Any hyperlinks to bookmarks within the same document
don't work after the document is moved.
At least, that's my experience.

There is a way in MS Word 2003 to set the hyperlink Base, I believe this
feature was available in prior versions. From the Word help:
hyperlink base: When a relative link is based on a path you specify (the
first part of the path that is shared by the file containing the
hyperlink and the destination file), that path is the hyperlink base.
Open the document for which you want to set a hyperlink base.=20
On the File menu, click Properties, and then click the Summary tab.=20
In the Hyperlink base box, type the path you want to use for all the
hyperlinks you create in this document.=20
Note You can override the hyperlink base by typing the full address for
the hyperlink in the Insert Hyperlink dialog box.

Subject: [mso] MsWord Hyperlinks Don't Work After Moving Documents
I have a large number of word documents with a few hyperlinks in each of
them.
The 'relative hyperlinks' stop working when the documents are moved 'en
masse' to another folder, even though the hyperlink target files remain
in their original location.=20
(Opening and then saving the documents to the new location works ok, but
that takes a lot of time.)
MsWord seems to allow absolute addressing only if the target file is
located on a different server.
It appears to always want some sort of relative addressing otherwise.
(Either using the Property->Base Hyperlink or the current location.)
How can I force absolute addressing in an MsWord Hyperlink?
