Ok, so I have this spreadsheet, and a Writer document with embedded spreadsheets. It's an invoice document with two pages each with it's own spreadsheet. Because I could never figure out how to link the subtotal from one page (i.e. one internal embedded spreadsheet to another) to the next, I linked in a subtotal from the time tracking spreadsheet. Apparently internal document links are illegal in LibreOffice.
Why? I don't know. He's on third. Well it *USED* to automatically update, back in the day. Not sure when it broke. Maybe I broke something in the configuration. It's pretty freaking fragile. I breath the wrong way and something breaks. Anyway. I noticed maybe last month it's not updating anymore. Again this month, nothing. Opening up the links dialog and it shows as manual and no option to make it automatic. Searched help docs and it says it needs to be a DDE link. Ok, fine. So I follow the instructions and make a "DDE" link. Only when it does that it doesn't include the file path, so it can't find the link. Useless. Tried to edit it. I doesn't like that, and it turns it into a URL. URLs don't compute. This should be a simple no-brainer. Here I am 2 hours later. Wasting a couple hundred dollars of my time doing a task that can't be much simpler. I was doing this stuff in Word Perfect two decades ago. No three. So, is there a workaround or fix for this? I'm using Libreoffice version 4.4.3.2 in Mint 17 64 bit.
