Saving as HTML converts some links to absolute

[Hanlie]

Hi,

I have two presentations (say A and B) that I publish as HTML and that
link

* internally to different slides
* externally to each other
* externally to Word and Excel templates in a subdirectory called
Templates


All the links in presentation A work fine.

The external links in presentation B are a mess though. When I publish
as HTML, it makes the links absolute to the folder where I keep the
orginal .ppt files. The hyperlink base in both files' properties is
blank.

In fact, I can't see the difference between the links in A and B, yet
PP treats them differently when converting to HTML. I've tried both
forward and backward slashes, they both don't work.

I can make the external links in B absolute, but people need to carry
this web site around on their laptops and of course, then everything
falls over.

Can someone help me?

Thanks
Hanlie

No, they're in the same directory on one drive.

I tried this utility and it didn't report any problems with links for
either of the two presentations.

Thanks for trying, though.
