I try to make a web page in user-friendly manner. However I found out that due 
to this issue I have to manually edit each address.

Two examples:
* you create a hyperlink -- I would like to set a link to 
just "mynextpage.html" but in webpage tab OOW insists to add "http://"; prefix 
which does not make sense, and in file tab prefix "file://" which also does not 
make sense. I don't get it -- from when URL "mynextpage.html" became invalid?

* the same goes for image embedding, but the correction is even more 
difficult -- it seems OOW does not accept that fact, the image is placed "here" 
(in current directory), it has to "correct" the filename adding incorrect 
prefix

Please, if the user says -- file "A", it is file "A". Don't try to be smarter, 
adding prefixes usually works only in one situation (on local filesystem, or on 
remote system), but it is impossible (*) to add absolute prefix and have it 
working in both environments.

(*) almost. But the workaround is really painful -- you have to upload files to 
remote server, and use absolute URLs downloading back what you uploaded.
