Though I wonder why the command to insert a hyperlink is just called "Hyperlink," while the one that has absolutely nothing to do with inserting a hyperlink is called "Insert hyperlink." I feel certain that when I put it in the menu the first time, ages ago, after they inexplicably removed it from the menu, it was "Insert hyperlink that I used and that's what appeared in the menu. In fact, I know it was, because I changed nothing but with the upgrade t produced the character dialog instead of the hyperlink one. I changed nothing -- it just changed from one dialog to the other. I am grateful to the LibreOffice people for producing a fine application, but I would not mind hearing that when the person responsible for this change gets up in the night to pee, he steps on a lego in the dark, and then another one. | In previous versions, were you able to insert the hyperlink immediate | with no dialog or was there always some type of dialog that would | appear? No, there was always a dialog. The same dialod that "Edit hyperlink" spawns, which makes sense. It's just that it was until now "Insert hyperlink," and now it's "Hyperlink." I suspect there's some kind of reason for this, but I bet it's not in English. Anyway, thanks very much for solving the problem! -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/
