Does this do it?

Tools > Preferences > Documents > Copy/Paste management of hyperlinks

In what circumstances/version do you have a problem?

My problem is that although I have relative URLs set as my default, BG is consistently inserting ONLY absolute ones. I have tried changing the default and then changing it back again to relative, but it makes no difference. This is a real pain for me, for I have to remember to correct every single link that I create, and inevitably I often forget, and so I keep getting bad links on my web pages, which are referencing paths on my local system.

Philip, WYSIWYG is for beginners and the uneducated. It should be very,
very simple and easy to use. There are many very good HTML Editors which
can make the life of the more advanced users very productive. But,
still, this requires they have at least a little basic knowledge of HTML.

With all due respect to Mr Tankersley, his comments are prejudiced and surely are not his most intelligent utterances, and contribute nothing useful here. I am well experienced (over decades) with HTML, and neither am I uneducated! What I want to know is if anyone else has experienced the issue I have reported here, and if there was any measure they took that resolved the issue.

Philip/Greg,
I hadn't looked at this previously but I would have expected that the method proposed by Greg was what Philip wants.
I now find that it doesn't work for me (on Windows).
If Greg argrees that it doesn't work I suggest that Philip reports it as a bug.

W3C Staff is using BlueGriffon to edit Web Standards, the web site
and news report. Same thing for me.
"beginners and uneducated"?

Yes sir, Philip, I am very prejudice.

I worked my entire 80 years of life as a scientist and engineer. As we , in the true science field, have given our lives to  support a far better understanding of God's creation, we, the engineers and scientist, are  very upset with this new medium that  tells us that they, and not those of us who have given our lives to humanity, know the answers. WE do not know the answers, but we  do argue that  education never ends. Thus, Please read and under satnd the Mission statement of http://www.chtank.us/.

I am sorry if I seem a bit of an asshole toward you, but, sir, we never  are to stop learning and we are never to stop teaching!!! We, in the engineering and science field do have a real problem with much of what  is presented to us from the computer science side of the field. If you ask us to learn Progamming, sorry, guy, but we  do NOT have the time to learn another language. Perhaps yo need to learn ours, it is called scientific reasoning.

Philip, I might also suggest you take the time to review http://www.edge.org/. It is just a little philosophy, and whether you agre or disagree, it is food for though.

Charles, I don't want to see God mentioned here. This is a forum about
BlueGriffon, not about the origine of the universe and life. Whatever
you think created the world, I don't care *here*. Maybe we'll have a
passionated discussion some day outside of this forum and I'll give
you my opinion about God, creation and science (I am a scientist too)
but just NOT here.
This is NOT a subject of discussion on my end, that's a "no", period,
so please don't add more content to this.

Furthermore, I don't want either to see long threads about the meaning
of life, what means learning or just _anything_ unrelated to web
browsing, editing of web pages, Web Standards or BlueGriffon. Thanks.

</Daniel>

I have been doing a little investigation - but not enough to make a
bug report myself yet. (A little too much wine with my meal this
evening may account for that! :-) )

I think this issue is related to Daniel's recent change where he
preserves, copies from elsewhere and pre-fills fields in dialogues
with whatever happens to be on the clipboard. (I recall that I hated
the change when introduced, so my intoxicated state may be pre-filling
my mind with bias!)

I note that with an unsaved page the "Make URL relative to page
location" remains greyed out - although it seems to become active on
saved pages.

Sorry I can't be more coherent at the moment!
