Re: [libreoffice-users] LO 5.1 Presentation can't find system browser on OSX 10.11

Aha - you nailed it on the head.  The person who built the document used
an internal file:// refernce, nd the inaccurate message popped up. When
I added a second link with the correct web URL it worked fine (though
strangely enough I could find no menu choice to allow editing the URL
that was previously there!)
