Hi,
I have a document with about 90 hyperlinks referencing other parts within the same document. For whatever reason, when I first create the hyperlink, it shows up as relative, which is good. However, when I save and close Word and go back in to the document later on, most of the hyperlinks have changed to absolute. I don't want the full URL, to appear when people hover over the hyperlink, just the pointer to the bookmark in the document. How do I fix this? TIA!

See Word Fields and Relative Paths to External Files. Although that is about external files, the same methods should work for internal links.
