Calc- how to edit a link to a file

Env: Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5
LibreOfiice:4.3.6.1

Hi,

I inserted a link to another pdf file. That works, if I click the link the other file is opened.

Question1:
Here's the weird thing. I don't seem able to edit the text value, nor the path. If I right click there's not something as edit (the link). Also in the menu I can't find someting like 'edit link'.
Am I missing something?

Question2:
If change the path to a relative path (as from the location of the calc file) I get an error message when clicking the link.
The message says:
LibreOffice could not find a web browser on your system. Please check your Desktop Preferences or install a web browser (for example, Firefox) in the default location requested during the browser installation.

Can someone help me with this?

Brian,

I just tested what you said.

Indeed, when the cell contents is selected (cursor before content, the move over it with 'shift/right arrow'), the content is available when opening the dialogue both from the button (which I never spotted in the first place :slight_smile: and from menu insert > hyperlink (⌘K).
From the menu this is not very intuitive, I think.

When I went to the save preferences, the option for relative path was already set (apparently it is the default). Since it is not displayed in the dialogue this way, I just didn't think that it would automagically be right. Next time no assumptions, just test first!

Thank you for your clear answer,

Rob.
