Yes, of course, he could do that. The reason I didn't suggest it is because so many of the people that I work with have difficulty (or resistance to) driilling down on the menus. They often do not look in the Help section either. That's why expressions have developed, such as, "There's more than one way to skin a cat."

Another quick method that will work in just about any program is to copy and paste the desired material into a text editor, such as Windows Notepad. You don't have to save it in Notepad. Then, recopy everything again and paste it into your OpenOffice document. The foray into Notepad will automatically delete any link material in the background.
