Whenever I specify the target of a hyperlink with a relative URL, OO changes it to an absolute one.
E.g., For a link called "HOME", I specify "index.html".
When I click Apply, OO changes it to "http://index.html/";
That's bad for two reasons:
1) That's not what I want.
2) A filename with a trailing slash causes an error message in a browser.
Is there a way to tame OO to do what I want?
OO help says, "Choose Tools - Options - Load/Save - General and specify in the Save
URLs relative to field if OpenOffice.org creates relative or absolute hyperlinks.
Relative linking is only possible when the document you are working on and the link
destination are on the same drive."
But there's no "Save URL relative to field". There's "relative to filesystem" and
"relative to Internet". I had them both checked originally but unchecking both seems to have no
effect -- I still get absolute links.
Help! :-) Thanks.
Have you disabled automatic URL recognition in Tools > AutoCorrect?
Yes. Both [M] and [T] are unchecked.
Forget which tab but that may be your problem. I think once you do that
you can use Insert > Hyperlink and specify document
Rather than "Internet"!! Excellent! Thanks.0
