We use one directory for projects we're working on, and another for completed projects. When cross-referencing to other writers' books, we cross-reference from the working directory to the completed directory. We want absolute cross-references, so that the path will always begin at D:\. We do not want relative cross-references, because the files' relative positions change.
I did a little research in the forum, and it appears that using Save gives me relative paths, but using Save As gives absolute paths. But regardless of whether I use Save or Save As, the cross-reference links are broken after moving the file I'm cross-referencing from. This doesn't seem right, because the location of the file I'm cross-referencing to is the same as it ever was.
Is there a way to force FrameMaker to use an absolute path for cross-references? And if it uses an absolute path when I Save As, why are my cross-references broken after I Save-As a file and then move it?
