I am using RoboHelp 7 HTML Web Help. From what I understand, any time you create links in RoboHelp, the RoboHelp editor should create them in a "relative" manner, which is what I want and which is what used to happen. But now it is creating them in an absolute manner. I don't know how it changed or how to get it back to creating the links in the relative manner.

Hi there
What are you seeing that is leading you to believe the links are absolute? Can you provide a screen shot or describe it?
Cheers... Rick

Hi Rick,
When I create the link by dragging and dropping or by using the Hyperlink icon, the full path shows in the Hyperlink dialog box and in the IE Status Bar.
I can manually delete the path, and then everything is okay.
I'd like to not have to manually delete the path. I've been doing things the same way for a long time, and I can't figure out what would have changed.
Thanks,
Ray

When creating the link it does show as absolute. Click OK and then reopen the dialog, hey presto, it is relative. It's been that way for a long time.

Thanks for the reply, but it doesn't work that way for me. When I reopen the dialog, it is still absolute and I have to manually delete the path.

Are you sure you are linking to something inside the project? That's the only time I can think of that it does not work that way and I can't believe RoboHelp is singling you out on this.

I am definitely linking to something inside the project. Maybe those paranoid thoughts of mine are real ;o)
One odd thing that happens - When I drag & drop to create the link, it starts out as file://\\ but if I go into the Hyperlink dialog box and hit OK , it changes to file:/

Drag from and to where? Exactly how are you creating the link?

I drag from the Project Manager to the document in the main frame.
If I use the Insert Hyperlink dialog box, it still creates an absolute link.

I want to be 100% sure here.
Your project is on your C drive. What is the full path to the project?
