Description aexl 2007-12-19 18:46:15 UTC 
- create writer document doc1, with some sections
- create writer document doc2
- insert in doc2 linked sections, pointing to a section in doc1
- send doc2 to a friend (but not doc1)
- friend opens document, is asked "should links be updated" ( or so)
- friend says "yes"

what happens:
- content of linked section is lost

what should happen
- OOo finds that target of linked section does not exist, and does not update
linked section, possibly giving a warning

I also think, that when a target file of a linked section is n currently not
available, the section should not be updated automatically. It should keep its
previous content.
MRU->FL/OD: what do you think about this?
