Can't use 'relative paths' for Link to Visio Drawing in MSWord.

[smkilcoyne]

I can't get MSword to recognize relative paths (it forces full path names)
when creating a link to a Visio drawing. I tried editing the FIELD CODE, but
no variation I tried worked.

Word always *displays* the full path; but if you create the link using a
relative path, it remains relative, and the full path displayed will change
accordingly if you move the document.

LINK fields do not support relative paths.

Only links to graphics files (IncludePicture) and document/text files
(IncludeText) support relative links.
