------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Jun 6 04:35:12 -0700 2005 ------- while trying to answer http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?p=80856#80856 I made an odd discovery. I've selected 'current' as there is no pull-down value for 1.9.104 1. Insert - File - (pick ascii text file) I get another dialogue listing the file name, and with two tick boxes. The one for 'link' is greyed out. Yet, go and read the help file. 'inserting;text in presentations' It clearly talks about using the link facility. It can't be that I've missed an insert-link menu item, because there isn't one. ANd I must be on the right track, because I get the dialogue with the greyed out tickbox. 2. Insert - File - (pick .gif or similar file) I get an error box 'The file could not be loaded' 3. Insert - Picture - From file (pick same graphics file) I get the picture straight away, with no option to link to it. 4. Insert - Object - From file (pick same grapics file) I get a scrambled version of the picture straight away with no option to link to it. So, what exactly are 'links' for? I can't use them for text files, and don't even get the option for graphics. There is an edit menu item for them, but I can't seem to create any to let me edit them! Why does the help for 'inserting;files' not mention links, but 'inserting;text in presentations' does? What is the diffennce? Both appear to be the same menu item, after all? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
