Hello All - I am getting a strange symptom with OOo 2.0.2 Writer which may be a bug. In addition to level 2, I have been using level 1.1.0 for some time and a difference you might like to check was observed.
The problem has to do with using COPY of web page data from Internet Explorer 6.0 SP2 and then using PASTE in Writer to store the information. In most cases this works and embedded links are preserved but there is one site's data in which the links are consistently lost using OOo 2.0 but they are preserved using level 1.1.0. By way of background, I will soon retire and I am investigating factors such as taxes and cost-of-living in a number of states to decide on my destination. Since my medical coverage is via the Veterans Administration, an item of interest is the location of medical facilities within various states and acquiring this information brought the problem to light. If you click on http://www1.va.gov/directory/guide/home.asp you will reach the VA facility locator page and clicking on any displayed state will present a page of all the facilities located there. I hold down my left mouse button and select all the data from "<State name> (view addresses)" to the last facility entry, then COPY from IE and use PASTE in Writer to store the information. The data should enter Writer in the form of a table, cities on the left with facility identification in the form of a link on the right and clicking the facility links would take you directly to their sites. When I paste the copied data into OOo 1.1.0 the facility links are preserved but pasting the same data into level 2.0, the table is identical but the links are lost. Strangely, if I copy the table after it has been successfully pasted into the level 1.1.0 Write document and paste it into level 2, the links remain active. Anyway, if you wish to duplicate the problem, you might click on Iowa at the VA site to obtain data for a test (data for all the states will fail in level 2.0 Writer but information for Iowa is very short as the state has few facilities). My system is a Dell, pentium 4 at 2.2GHz, 1 GB memory, drive C 40GB (73% free) and drive D 160GB (95% free), using Windows XP home edition fully updated.
