Would it be possible to have the prompt remain as it is, with a "Help" 
or "More" button that leads to some expanded explanation?
Given the fact that the "More" button might only show some few lines of
text - what does that additional click help?
Responding rather late ...

But having hit this exact same dialog box in WordPerfect ...

It was very uninformative, confusing, and unsuppressable. Add to that,
to the best of my knowledge the document *couldn't* contain any external
links because I'd created it, hadn't linked it anywhere, and didn't know
what a link was or how to find it.

So in this circumstance an extra link would be great - maybe make it
respond to F1 and take you to the relevant help page?

(How the link appeared was, I guess, yet another usability issue. I'm
finding that as more and more "helpful" shortcuts appear, programs are
doing more and more things that I don't want and didn't ask for, and can
only guess that a thick-fingered typist is triggering unknown and
unknowable short cuts !!! :-(

Cheers,
