He is using Word 2000....and when he creates the link he hits the file
button and browses to the file. This creates the link to the file and
that looks like a UNC link. But, when I view the link (that he
created)on my PC which is running Word 2002, I hold my cursor over the
link and it shows as file:///C:\\server\share\file.pdf

Just for testing I created the link on his PC by manually typing in
\\server\share\file.pdf and it works just fine on both PC's. But I don't
want him to have to do that, if I can avoid it.

Are you using UNC links, like \\server\share\file.pdf as opposed to
file://L:/file.pdf?

        I have a user that created a word document and in this word
document he has hyperlinks to .pdf's which are stored in a public
network folder. When he clicks on the hyperlinks he has no problem
opening the corresponding document. I checked the path of the hyper link
and it does point to the network folder. The problem we are having is
when the document is sent to other users, the hyperlinks stop working. I
checked the path of the links on another user's pc and for some reason
it points to the C: drive, rather than the network folder that it was
originally set up to point to. Has anyone ever seen anything like this?
Does anyone have any ideas as to what can cause this to happen?
