Writer hyperlinks are not functioning

Trying to connect to a url from a hyperlink in Writer, when I hit cntrl-click it does not work. This happened before and I corrected it by going to Auto Correct and selected URL Recognition, also went to security to make sure the cntr-click item was checked. What else could it be?

Just a few questions to narrow things down: Doesn’t the link open, do you get an error message, does nothing happen? Is it a link to a file on your pc, did you move, rename or delete that file, or is it a link to a page on the Internet?

Floris, They are links to the internet. None of my docs work. I tried saving in different file formats and the cntrl-click still does not work.

Works for me. And the links really work, as per your reply to pièrre-yves. When you press Ctrl with the mouse over the link, does the cursor change to a hand? And sorry for asking silly questions, but are you sure that you press Ctrl and not Alt or Shift? Does the Ctrl key actually work for you?
Btw, it may be easier to handle this kind of questions on a regular forum, where you can add multiple replies. http://en.libreofficeforum.org/forum is still open.

had a similar problem so i deleted all hyper-links which used to work. it opened my email with “mail to:hyperlink content”

Hi

Difficult to say … sorry if you have already tried these proposals.

If ToolsAutoCorrect OptionsOptionsURL Recognition is ticked you can try FormatAutoCorrectApply (you can do it for a selection) to apply the URL Recognition.

You can also try Right Click on the URL▸Open Hyperlink. If it is ok then it’s a problem with the Ctrl+click

This could also be a network problem. Does it work with other programs?

Regards

Thanks Pierre, the right click open hyperlink does work. I tried the “apply” and cntrl-click still does not work. What is strange is when I click on the hyperlink it goes into writer mode activating the menu bar.
