Re: [libreoffice-users] Writer Hyperlink Oddity

Hello Dale,
                     I have not met this problem (yet!). If you create a
hyperlink to a pdf document, but without the 'a' unfinished indicator
I take it that the hyperlink remains unchanged regardless of the
file being accessed again.  It appears to be an issue with the single
character. Perhaps if you omitted the final underbar so that the
link read  8a instead of 8_a. The 'a' could be deleted when the
document is complete, just as you are doing now.

I know that this does not tell you why this occurs, but it might cure it.
Am working with hyperlinks while editing multi-lingual translations of
a system manual and have met several unexpected issues. Yours may
be yet to come!
