It looks like this is still broken in OO 2.0.3. I'm developing some training
materials in Impress and badly need relative paths to make passing of
materials work from wherever they are installed. Does anyone have a
suggestion on how to work around this? Everytime I create the link in
Impress, even with the two boxes checked that a mentioned in the messages
below the full path gets saved.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

It is.
As an update, I'm trying to use DDE as the linking to other
spreadsheets, as listed;
=DDE("soffice";"./bar_payouts2006.sxc";"May.I55")
This works under Linux OO 1.1.3, and OS X neo office 1.2.2 (I think
that's their revision #)
Yet I open the same spreadsheet under Linux OO 2.0.1 & OS X Neo Office
2.*.*, and the linking is broke.
Tools -> Options -> Load/Save -> Save URL's relative to;
filesystem & internet are checked, as on the OS X computer.
