Hi Chet,

Here is a good example, with a bit of explanation (assumes understanding of HTML basics). I've also attached it as a text file, in case that is helpful

*******

Good example of using relative links: is ebCore Agreement Update Specification Version 1.0. (This was done with .ODT, but it's the same in MS-Word)

Look at the document:

http://docs.oasis-open.org/ebcore/ebcore-au/v1.0/csprd02/ebcore-au-v1.0-csprd02.html

Look at (for instance) Section 2.3.2

http://docs.oasis-open.org/ebcore/ebcore-au/v1.0/csprd02/ebcore-au-v1.0-csprd02.html#__RefHeading__1794_531080926

Look at the seventh bullet item:

Text:

The initiator MAY express the date and time by which it expect a response at the latest using the element RespondBy.

Here is the HTML code:

The initiator MAY express the date and time by which it expect a

response at the latest using the element <a

href="">RespondBy">RespondBy</a>

If you mouse over the word "RespondBy", you will see:

http://docs.oasis-open.org/ebcore/ebcore-au/v1.0/csprd02/documentation/au.html#RespondBy.

The relative link simply begins with the name of the directory (documentation/) which is stored in the same directory as the specification, so we see:

Specification:

http://docs.oasis-open.org/ebcore/ebcore-au/v1.0/csprd02/ebcore-au-v1.0-csprd02.html

Directory:

http://docs.oasis-open.org/ebcore/ebcore-au/v1.0/csprd02/documentation/...
