Editing Hyperlinks
When you Ctrl-click a hyperlink in a Writer document, your web browser opens with the requested web address. If you don't use a mouse, position the cursor inside the hyperlink and open the context menu by Shift+F10, then choose Open Hyperlink.
Changing the text of a hyperlink
In Writer documents, you can click anywhere into a hyperlink and edit the visible text.
If you leave the hyperlink by positioning the cursor elsewhere, only the visible text changes.
If you leave the hyperlink by entering a space character directly following the last character, the AutoCorrect - if enabled - will change the target URL to be the same as the visible text.
In all document types, you can open the Hyperlink dialogue box to edit a hyperlink. First set the cursor into the hyperlink or directly in front of the hyperlink, then click the Hyperlink icon on the Standard bar.
