Re: [Libreoffice] Better wording for 'Update links' question

Hi, :-)

So, re-working Hal's suggeston, we'd have:

"This document contains one or more links to external media or other data.
Do you want to update all links to get the most recent content?

Go to Edit - Links... to find out what external data this document
references."
