------- Additional comments from lang...@openoffice.org Tue Dec 8 23:55:25 +0000 2009 ------- When using the HYPERLINK() worksheet function to link to a document on the web, where the url contains a ".html" file extension, the document attempts to open in Writer rather than in the specified web browser (Firefox, in my case - I'm running Ubuntu Jaunty, 9.04). For example, put this equation in a cell and then click the link: HYPERLINK("http://www.freepatentsonline.com/6123456.html") Mis-typing the link by including either one or three forward slashes actually solves the problem, but this is counter-intuitive, since the url looks wrong: HYPERLINK("http:/www.freepatentsonline.com/6123456.html") or HYPERLINK("http:///www.freepatentsonline.com/6123456.html") The same error occurs (and the same work-arounds work) for hyperlinks created using the "Create Hyperlink" dialog box. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
