------- Additional comments from mr_lau...@openoffice.org Sat Feb 6 04:13:20 +0000 2010 ------- The URL noted above will not work when entered into a document in OO writer. The problem is the underscore (_) between "lucinda" and "ball". When this underscore is removed, then OO Writer will form a link. I transferred the document containing this link to Word97 in WindowsME, and it worked fine. I emailed the document to a friend with Open Office 3.0 running on WindowsXP, and it WOULD NOT work. Therefore, I feel that Open Office Writer has a bug that won't allow an underscore (_) in the name portion of a URL before the .com. The underscores in the portion of the address after the .com are not a problem. Note that I created a hyperlink as part of my effort, but when clicked on, it would only link to OO as a browser, not the system default browser, and I could find no way to change this. After going to OO as a browser, it would not return to OO writer. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
