 |
|
When opening a file in Calc that contains hyperlinks, I get a nag screen informing me that "This file contains links to other files. Should they be updated?"
How to I turn of this annoying nag? (In Calc and for all other document types containing hyperlinks?) |

Hyperlinks do not initiate such a request.
You have links to other sheets or to external data in your Calc document.
See Edit>Links... menu... you can Break Link to finalize the data (loose the dynamic link).
Your data will not be updatable anymore... and no more questioning.
Does this help?

You bet that helped. Breaking the link solved the problem. Thank you for taking the time to reply. I have no idea how that link got into the document. I authored the document and all I ever entered (I thought) were hyperlinks. |

To answer the original question and for those who came here via Google like myself, here's a walkthrough how to get rid of the prompt. It's about Writer but it's the same in Calc.
I don't understand how a modal prompt at file opening can be the default setting for anything. When I open a file I want to work in it right away. "Always update" should be the default, those links are supposed to be live. Or at least make it nonmodal. |
