Automatically close files?

[sheila_C]

I have a folder of many Open Office files, with hyperlinks in the various files linking to other files in that same folder. When I click on a hyperlink in one file it opens the proper file, but does not close the first file. Is there a way I can make the first file close when the hyperlinked file opens?

Thanks,
Sheila

Try to achieve this task by macros instead of the pure hyperlinks. A macro can open a file based on the URL information, and it can close the file, that the macro was launched from.

I was hoping there was a shortcut for it, but I guess I will have to go the macro route.

An office suite never will close a doc - by default - when it open an another one.

True. But It looks like another instance of OO opens when another document is opened from the hyperlink. I am not sure if that is so. I am very new to OO.
