• Name is applicable to HTML documents. It specifies text that will be added as

a NAME attribute in the HTML code behind the hyperlink.

• Events button : click this button to open the Assign Macro dialog and

choose a macro to run when the link is clicked. See Chapter 13 (Getting

Started with Macros) for more information.

Editing hyperlinks

To edit an existing link, click anywhere in the link text and then click the Hyperlink

icon on the Standard toolbar or choose Edit > Hyperlink from the menu bar.

The Hyperlink dialog opens. Make your changes and click Apply. If you need to edit

several hyperlinks, you can leave the Hyperlink dialog open until you have edited all

of them. Be sure to click Apply after each one. When you are finished, click Close.

The standard (default) behavior for activating hyperlinks within OOo is to use

Ctrl+click. This behavior can be changed in Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org >

Security > Options, by deselecting the option Ctrl-click required to follow

hyperlinks. If clicking in your links activates them, check that page to see if the

option has been deselected.

Removing hyperlinks

You can remove the clickable link from hyperlink text—leaving just the text—by right-

clicking on the link and selecting Default Formatting. This option is also available

from the Format menu. You may then need to re-apply some formatting in order for

the text to match the rest of your document.

To erase the link text or button from the document completely, select it and press the

Backspace or Delete key.

Saving Writer documents as web pages

Writer’s HTML capabilities include saving existing documents in HTML format,

creating new documents as HTML (not described here), and creating several

different types of web pages using a wizard.

The easiest way to create HTML documents is to start with an existing Writer

document. You can get a good idea of how it will appear as a web page by using View

> Web Layout. However, web layout view will not show you which features will or

won’t save correctly to HTML. Some considerations are described in the introduction

to this chapter.

Saving a document as a single web page

To save a document as a single web page (HTML format), choose File > Save As and

specify HTML Document as the file type.

Note

Writer does not replace multiple spaces in the original document with

the HTML code for non-breaking spaces. If you want to have extra

spaces in your HTML file or web page, you need to insert non-breaking

spaces in OOo. To do this, press Control+Spacebar instead of just

Spacebar.
