Thanks. Mine was set to low. I changed it to Medium.

The command key has an Apple and a squiggly square on it. Control and alt/option do not do anything. The links were created in Word.

I have Tools->Macros and under that I have Record Macro, Run Macro and Organize Dialogs..., along with Organize Macros, which contains OpenOffice.org Basic, Python, BeanShell and JavaScript.

Hi Michael:

Howqever I also find often enough that in my Calc workbooks (.ODS
format), the hyperlinks on my summary sheet will jump nicely to the tens
of other sheets without the need for the {ctrl-click}.
It may be that the authors of Writer wanted to leave a simple click open
to other uses, I'm not sure.

There is a setting under Tools> Options> OpenOffice.org> Security under
the Options button that allows you to change to just click on
hyperlinks. But it is hard to edit a document when you not click to put
the cursor where it is needed, in the middle of that hyperlink.

Hi Guy: It is possible that your installation of Oo has the hyperlinks/macros setting set to high security. If so, you may need to set it to medium (more practical) This is done iunder Tools - Options. This is usually necessary following a new installation, and also (if it has not already been done) when using Laurent Goddard's DicOoo.SXW to install added language packs. (For that file, be sure you are using version 1.8 or higher!) Best regards from Canada, Bruce M.
