I’m always surprised by the reaction we get when discussing the risks of broken links as part of planning for a Microsoft Office upgrade.  When we bring up the topic with a project team’s IT leaders as part of a prudent and methodical planning process, it’s usually met with blank stares, shoulder shrugs and general indifference.  I find this reaction surprising since broken links are often a widespread – and sometimes chronic – problem during and post migration, especially if the organization is upgrading from Office 2003 to Office 2010.
