Losing links to Excel files in a Word Doc when copying files

Hi 

I am running Windows XP and Office 2007.  I have created a word doc with a link to one excel file. The two documents sit in the same folder.  I gave the files to a colleague on a USB stick, again in the same folder, but when he then tries to open the files on his machine (running Windows 7 and Office 2007) the links are lost.  How can I share these linked documents ? The same thing happens when I back up my data onto another drive.  All the links in the backup files are lost.  Any ideas ???  Thank you for responding.
