------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Feb 2 15:29:11 +0000 2007 ------- Ok, I've found a solution. But this causes a new bug in writer. First of all, relative paths do still work, but the documentation doesn't cover it well. I hope it will be updated soon! If you want to use relative paths, in the DDE link field write this: "file:linkedfile.ods" if the 'linkedfile.ods' is in the same directory "file:subdir/linkedfile.ods" if the 'linkedfile.ods' is in a subdir called 'subdir' "file:../linkedfile.ods" if the 'linkedfile.ods' is in the root directory Please note: this works on both, writer (in the Links window) and calc (as the =DDE() argument). I've tested this on Win XP, but the fact it uses slashes instead of backslashes makes me think this works on linux too. But I can't confirm it. But be careful! If you update the links with the "file:" path (Modify->Links), when you try to "Modify->Paste Special->DDE Link", writer will crash! You can still add DDE links using "Ctrl+F2". I hope this will help. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
