This ought to be obvious, but I can't get it right.

I have an Impress presentation, which will be stored on either a memory stick or a CD, so it can be used on other computers. At one point in the presentation, I need to click a link which will open a browser and display a complete HTML page, which is also stored on the memory stick/cd, along with all its necessary files. All of the HTML files and the Impress file are in the same folder.

I assume that this should be a relative link, but can't get the thing to work. Can anyone advise me what the correct syntax is please?

That seems to work thanks.

That seems to work thanks. But the way Impress handles the link is still a mystery.

Although it appears to work as a relative link, it still looks like an absolute, displaying the full original path from the machine it was created on.

However, I've run the presentation successfully from a memory stick on two other machines, so I guess I'll be grateful for that whilst remaining baffled.

Thanks again for the help.
