Converting Word 97 files to HTML: problems with hyperlinks
The resulting set of hypermedia files contain links. These links must be adapted, when changes occur in the URL of the internal or external documents to which these links refer.
In the original Word 97 software without updates, no software is available to take care of this.
Since 1997, an update for Word 97 is available free of charge from Microsoft, that provides link management software.
Word 2000 includes link management software.
