I Googled around and looked at the FAQs but didn't find a clear solution to
the problem of Word 2003 preferring to use drive map paths (Q:\MyDoc.doc) in
the FileName field over UNC paths (\\Server\Folder\MyDoc.doc)
Apparently there was a Word 97 registry hack with a key DontUseUNC to do the
opposite of what I want. I tried setting it to 0 instead of 1 but it had no
effect. One Usenet conversation I found via Google alluded to a
Support8.dot or Support10.dot that might contain a macro that fixes it, but
there was no confirmation of this.

A brutish workaround is to unmap the offending drive, but it doesn't really
satisfy. I don't use drive mappings myself, but lots of folks at this
office do.
I've asked our system folks here for access to the Office CD but that might
take quite a while.
Thanks for any ideas.
