I looked at your forum post as a courtesy to you. If you really want help,
I'd suggest you post the problem itself here rather than asking us users to
chase it down.
I made an outline document and saved it to html. It worked just fine.
What version of OOO are you using and what operating system?
cation you can only
select "Always open with" for that document. However, in Get Info, you will

You'll have to be more specific about what you are seeing. As a Mac user, I

you can use the menu command *View - Data source* to access the data records

Thus, you should always register a database. In case you are wondering,
registering does not mean sending data to any outside destination. It is a
local registration like entering data in the registry in Windows.

@Paula,
It's great that you have found using OOo so helpful. However, you could give
back to the community by sharing the glitches you have found with Calc.
Perhaps users could help you overcome those glitches, or perhaps your

When this thread began, I thought "How else would one add a line before a

The entity you are looking for is, in fact, called a "hyperlink." Among its

Generally, you can have as many as you need.
No, you don't have to delete your ID index. In fact, you have to have a

All additional indexes (indices?) do is to make ordering faster when you
order on the index parameters. For a name and ad
