Re: How do I link to files on a CDROM for use on different machines?

Yes, to use relative URL's, under the hyperlinking dialog you do not use the
option to browse to your file. Doing that will write the local absolute
reference. You have to use the web address option and input the URL
yourself, such as "myfile.doc".
