An absolute hyperlink uses the full address of the destination document. A relative hyperlink uses the address relative to the address of the containing document. This is also known as the hyperlink base.

For example, suppose that a document has the following address:

C:My Documents1999 report.doc

This document has absolute and relative hyperlinks to a document that has the following full address (and absolute hyperlink):

C:My DocumentsAprilSales.doc

The relative hyperlink contains only the relative address to Sales.doc. The relative address is as follows:

Use a relative link if you want to move or to copy your files to another location, such as a Web server.
