------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Jan 30 17:54:28 -0800 2005 ------- Here is the full detail of the procedure to reproduce the bug and the workaround: Create a spreadsheet. Save it to desktop as test. (e.g. C:\documents and settings\userName\desktop\test.sxc). Note that userName is the name under which you logged into MS Windows 2000. Put some values in the spreadsheet. (i.e. Put the word "month" in cell A1). Create a new document. Save it to desktop as test. (e.g. C:\documents and settings\userName\desktop\test.sxw) Select menu choices <insert><fields><other>. This will bring up a dialogue entitled 'fields'. Click on the 'variables' tab. Select 'dde field'. Select automatic format. Fill in 'name' with the name for a link (e.g. testLink1). Fill in 'dde statement' with the following: 'soffice c:\documents and settings\userName\desktop\test.sxc a1'. Click the 'insert' button. At this point a dialogue will come up with the message: 'Error loading document file:///c:/documents: c:\documents does not exist. "ok"'. This is the stated bug found in Open Office Org 1.1.4. It is always possible to reproduce this bug. Now, to proceed with the workaround. Click âokâ on the error dialogue noted above. Close the 'fields' dialogue box. At this time, note the presence of a small gray block in your text document. Left click on the beginning of the gray block. Now, right click on the beginning of the gray block. This will bring up a drop down menu. Select 'fields' from the menu. If the 'fields' choice does not show, repeat the left click and right click procedure as needed until 'fields' does show. Selecting fields will bring up another dialogue entitled âedit linksâ. Then select 'Modify Link'. 'Application' should read 'soffice' File will read 'c:\documents'. You will need to change this to read 'c:\documents and settings\userName\desktop\test.sxc' Category will read 'and settings\userName\desktop...' Change this to read 'a1'. Click 'ok'. Now close the dialogue. At this time the link is properly set. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
