    word-relative path hyperlink

    Hallo. I use word 2010.
    I have a photo, that i insert in the word file, and want to insert a hyperlink to the photo.
    However, i want the hyperlink to be relative, so when i move the folder (containing the file and the photo), the hyperlink will still work.

    Doesn't seem to work.

    eg. the file is A.jpg and the folder is B

    i hyperlink: B\A.jpg but i get an error that the address is not valid.

    (of course if i use the complete path ... C:..... it works fine)
