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.
