Relative Path for Images Changed to Absolute

OS: Windows 7, 64 bit (brand new machine)

After several problems, I've finally received a set of newly translated Simplified Chinese files back from the (new to me) LSP. Due to budgetary consideration, I always perform final DTP on the book before I publish to PDF.

My problem is that every single image (all imported by reference) has had the relative path changed to an absolute path and I have to re-link every one of them when I open each file (some files have hundreds of images as I use icons in instructions to match the proprietary console on our ultrasound machines).

In a perfect world I would return this to the LSP and have them fix it, but these manuals are already behind schedule. I have searched the last 2 years of list posting and cannot find the specific answer I am looking for.

Is there someplace I can change the absolute path back to the relative path? Even if I have to make the change once for every file in the book that would still only be 5 minutes work instead of hours and hours of work.

FYI: I will be working with the LSP to ensure this problem doesn't happen again.
