Fellow keyboard tappers:
I am writing a report in OOo Write that refers to specific worksheets in an
OOo Calc spreadsheet. (The tables are too large to include in the text
document as either an OLE or DDE link.) Here is what I do ...
1. Select the words that are to be the hotspot.
2. In the OOo Write document window, choose Insert > Hyperlink.
3. Complete the Hyperlink dialogue:
Path =
file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Hedley%20Finger/
My%20Documents/Projects/tools_evaluation_comparisons.sxc
(by clicking the Open button with a folder icon on it and navigating
to the
target document)
Target =
Editor Usability
(by clicking the Open the Target button and choosing the Editor
Usability
worksheet in the Target in Document dialogue.
4. In the Hyperlink dialogue, click the Apply and Close buttons.
This produces a hyperlink with an absolute path. The link works absolutely
as expected when it is clicked -- the target spreadsheet opens to the
correct worksheet.
The host text document and target spreadsheet are both in the same folder.
I intend to Zip them up to send to colleagues but the hyperlink won't work
because my colleagues are likely to Unzip the archive to a different
folder. So, in this case, I want to replace the absolute pathname with a
relative path, e.g. file://./tools_evaluation_comparisons.sxc, so that the
link will work as long as both files are Unzipped to the same folder.
Trouble is, when I edit the pathname to turn it into a relative path,
clicking the hyperlink produces this error message and the target
spreadsheet does not open:
Error loading document
file://./tools_evaluation_comparisons.sxc#Editor%20Usability
Drive \\.tools_evaluation_comparisons.sxc does not exist.
Please tell me that this is a horrible mistake and OOo _does_ know how to
handle relative paths!
Regards,
Hedley
