I keep a document with links to other documents on my computer.
Practically all my files are in a subfolder of E:\0. Word keeps changing my hyperlinks so they do not work
For instance I set a hyperlink to:
E:\ToDo\Technical Tid-bits.docx
Word changes it to:
:\Users\Jackie\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Word\Technical Tid-bits.docx (my user name is Jackie)
How do I keep Word from changing the hyperlink.

Are the files saved locally or on an external drive?
