Comp Gurus: How do I know I'm using a relative hyperlink over an absolute one?
My teacher is ridiculous and wants us to have relative hyperlinks in our power point presentation.
Only problem is he never explained the difference. How do I make sure all my hyperlinks are relative in my presentation? If anyone can help, I would appareciate it. |

Absolute is the full URL.

Oh, and since nobody else mentioned it, absolute is the full URL.

But what if it's a hyperlink that connects to something on my computer instead of the web?

The full path would be C:\foo\bar\spreadsheets\blah.xls |

Relative means relative to the current directory. So, if you are on the page:
/powerpoint/project/firstpage.html and you wanted to link to /powerpoint/project/images/bigassgraphic.jpg a relativle link would look like: images/bigassgraphic.jpg |

Ok, I get it now. Instead of labeling the whole path, just make sure it's in the folder I'm burning onto a CD.
I have to make sure this is Mac and IBM compatible, how will I know it is? I don't have a Mac to try it on.

However, you do need to make sure you are burning the disc in a format both can read... |

I don't know anything about Macs, I only know about computers.
