Guidelines for managing Web files and hyperlinks

(from Microsoft Word Help)

Relative vs. absolute links

When you create Web pages, Microsoft Office programs automatically manage the related files and hyperlinks so that the images appear and the links work when the pages are placed on the Web server.

When all the files — such as bullets, navigational buttons, background textures, graphics, and Web pages you create hyperlinks to — are placed on, or published to, the same Web server, Office programs maintain the links as relative links. Using relative links makes it easier to move supporting files from one location to another.

Hyperlinks to Web sites on other servers — for example, a list of your favorite places on the Web — are maintained as absolute links. That is, they are fixed file locations.

When you save your Web pages to a different location, links that can't be converted to relative links remain as absolute

Managing supporting files

When you save a document as a Web page, Office programs create a supporting folder named "filename_files" where they save all the page's supporting files — such as bullets, background textures, and graphics.

For example, if your file is named Page1.htm, Office programs create a subfolder named "Page1_files." Office programs also assign names such as image001.jpg and image002.gif to the supporting files.

When you delete elements that were saved as relative links, Office programs automatically delete the corresponding supporting files from the supporting folder.

If you move or copy your Web page to another location, you must also move the supporting folder so that you maintain all links to your Web page.

For example, suppose you have a Web page . It includes bullets, which are stored in a supporting folder . The relative paths for the bullet files are /Page1_files/image001.gif and /Page1_files/image002.gif. If you move Page1.htm to a new location, such as , you must also move the supporting files folder (Page1_files) to .
