DDE links from spreadsheet into writer in instances where there are spaces in
the path name do not register properly. For example the dde link in writer
'soffice C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\test.sxc Sheet1.A1'
does not register properly. When inserting this link, it returns an error 
âError
loading file ///C:Documents C:\Documents does not exist.â Putting quotation
marks around the file name does not solve the problem.
A workaround follows:

Dismiss the error error message. Click on insert anyway. At this point, a small
gray block will appear in the text document. Left click on the beginning of the
gray block. Then right click at the beginning of the gray block. A dialogue with
numerous choices, one of which is âfieldsâ should appear. If âfieldsâ 
does not
appear, repeat the process as needed until âfieldsâ does appear.

Select âfieldsâ. At this time, a dialogue entitled âEdit Linksâ appears.

Select âmodifyâ.

A new dialogue will come up. 
Ensure that âapplicationâ is soffice.
Correct the file name so it reads C:\Documents and
Settings\Administrator\Desktop\test.sxc.
Correct the category so it reads Sheet1.A1.
Select âOKâ

At this time, select âupdateâ [for manual links] and then close. At this 
time,
the link will appear properly in the document.
