Could someone please explain how to use the named references? I've tried looking in help but have been unsuccessful. I am building Impress documents and need to create relative paths which are still broken in OO 2.0.3. I insert icons in the document that are hyperlinked to other documents. I create the hyperlinks by right clicking on the icon image and selecting "Interaction...". That opens a dialog with a list box of different options. I select "Go to Document" and then browse to and select the document which fills in the document URL. That is filled in as an absolute. Where in this process can I use the named references indicated below to produce relative paths? Or what other process do I use?
I will be most grateful for a solution to this.
