adding an item to rmb context menu in writer
greetings. for the longest time, i was able to work efficiently by selecting link text, clicking the right mouse button, and selecting "insert link," whereupon the little link insertion box popped up, i could add the url, etc., and hit apply, and all would be well. a few versions ago this disappeared. i tore my hair -- i hardly have any left now. i've searched and searched for a way to add it back to the rmb menu in writer. i've found none. this surprises me because it was extremely useful and i can't imagine i'm the only one who misses it. so, my plea: is there a way to add the idem back to the rmb menu? and if not, is there a place i can beg for it to be restored? thanks in advance. -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/
