That is correct - I have thousands of PDF hyperlinks without _a in dozens of Writer files that 
never change.

I strongly expect that it is an issue with filenames that end in _x where "x" is an alpha 
character. I have a few hundred PDF filenames hyperlinked in Writer files that end in _n where "n" 
is a digit, and those have never been affected in Writer.

I might try that, but the reason for the underscore is that it makes files still being modified 
stand out better in the Writer files and in directory listings.

It is not a viable long-term cure because so many filenames and hyperlinks would have to be changed.
