So my dad said to make my site using the openoffice..he's a big fan..
HOWEVER it's being very anoying and adding in it's own formatting for links and pictures which just doesn't work, how do i get it to stop doing this? I've deleted it and fixed it up the way it should be and I go back and edit one section and the whole entire thing is flawed again..ahh help!

if I want it to say..
<A HRED="http://fireflystables/classified.html">Classifieds</A>

it will put this instead:
<A HREF="../../../../../Documents%20and%20Settings/Jennifer%20Bruner/My%20Documents/FireFlyStablesWebsite/classifieds.html">Classifieds</A>

Don't use Writer. Use NVU, or COMPOZER. Be your own big fan, and try to convert your dad when he sees how well you can do with one of those.

I agree with David: Writer is not a great HTMl authoring tool, but it can be done.

How did you enter the link address? Did you point to a local file, or did you use Insert > Hyperlink and type in the address "http://fireflystables/classified.html"?

Are you using Writer (a word processor) or Writer/Web (a tool for creating web pages)?

Try File > New > HTML document to get Writer/Web.

In Writer/Web, if I do Insert > Hyperlink and enter the address, I get this:

Code: Select all

<BODY LANG="en-US" DIR="LTR">
<P><A HREF="http://fireflystables/classified.html">Firefly Stables</A></P>
</BODY>
</HTML>

You will have to use Writer's styles to control the appearance of links and such. These will be output as CSS styles.
