Bug Description

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

When I open a certain .odp document, I get a pop-up question asking "Update all links? Yes/No".

Doubtless, it is an important question, but what the hell does it mean? I click "Yes" and things seem to go OK, but what am I updating? Do I really want to update *all* links? What does "updating" _do_ to my links? Are these hyperlinks we're talking about?

Anyhow, many questions arise, and you cannot get the answers to any of them. The pop-up box should contain a better question with enough information so that one can get a clue about what is going on.

... and incidentally, there is no "Report a Bug" option on the "Help" menu.

Thanks for reporting this bug. This string needs clarification indeed, and it is still present in the software, thus should be reported upstream, and the best would be to attach it with a sample document. If you have one document that is not protected by any copyrights and can be used to reproduce this, please attach it to this bug report.

[This is an automated message.]
There are no new official OpenOffice.org releases in Ubuntu packaging anymore => Won't Fix

If the problem persists, please mark this bug as "also affects project Libreoffice" or "also affects distribution Libreoffice (Ubuntu)" if that has not happened already.

Please leave references to upstream OpenOffice.org bugs in place to allow cross pollination.
