Hi,

At one time in the past open office did not support the use of hyperlinks in
the document that were not http, ftp, or telnet, and if you put in a uri
scheme in a link that was not one of these it was helpful enough to put the
'correct' (meaning the incorrect) uri scheme at the beginning of the link
you were trying to make. At some other time in the past this behavior
stopped, and it became possible to put all sorts of uris in as wished, now
it seems that one can put in different uris and they do not get changed to
one of the default uri types but neither do they get handed off to a system
protocol handler - I can of course understand why one would not want to do
this automatically as a security measure but most tools do give you the
option of allowing the particular uri scheme to work via either the user
accepting it at the time of accessing the uri or via some sort of
application level settings. Is there a particular way in open office that
one can do this, and if there is where can I get ahold of this setting and
change it to allow new uri schemes in my Open Office installation.

Thanks,
Bryan Rasmussen
