[mso] Re: Word 2002: Change default insert hyperlink folder?

This limitation drives me crazy too.  Here's what I did: My hyperlinks are
all in the A column, and the hyperlinks all point to JPG files in one
folder.  I made one hyperlink in the required tedious fashion and then
copied that hyperlink down the column using the control+D function. Then I
edited each hyperlink file name by hand, referring to a half-screen
Explorer window as I did so.  Tedious, but not so tedious as clicking on
subdirectory after subdirectory each time.

It's not a great work-around but I always prefer typing to clicking.

-- If I choose to insert a hyperlink to my text, the default

-- Thanks for any help, Cathy
