I see in OO 2.0.3 this is still a problem. I'm simply trying to create a set
of training materials using Impress and then converting to pdf. I need to use
relative links because I have a set of documents that need to be linked
together and installed on the desktops of the students. Does anyone have a
suggestion to work around this? Having relative paths is critical to my work.
Thanks, Bob

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.
