Hi Foss,

Have you read the Help, before deciding that the current design is misleading?

Apart from info that that gives: aparently the dialog is designed to give
people the opportunity to use the dialog to insert more links subsequently, so
as a non-modal dialog.

Do these standards also apply for non-modal dialogs?

If one clicks Apply .. hyperlink is inserted. The one chooses OK .. the link is
inserted again plus that the dialog closes? That is what I understand from what
you described above...

Back sets the state of the dialog to it's default. It doesn't do anything with
the already inserted links. Revert/Undo might give that impression more.

Apparently the primary goal for the current design is allow inserting multiple
hyperlinks without closing the dialog.
Same as dialog Fields .. has an Insert and Close buton too.

For me it is not yet sure that the changes that you describe, do not introduce
other chances for confusion ;)

David, what is your opinion?
