Copy and Paste Hyperlink change path to absolute

I just want to copy the Hyperlink from one Word document to another, but after copy/paste Word change address from relative to absolute.

Explanation: In document_1.docx hyperlink is with this parameters: Text to display: This is link to the document Staff Address: files/staff.pdf

After c/p in second document (or on the same) I get this parameters: Text to display: This is link to the document Staff Address: D:\Documents\Work Papers\Staff.pdf

How to paste exactly the same content???

Solution

  • I Found a Workaround!

    Select a whole hyperlink, press shift + F2 (Copy text), place cursor on the place where you want to paste link and press ENTER (don't use paste function).

    And you have the same address in hyperlink :)
