Following up on my own post -- a list member sent some suggestions. Long story short: I couldn't find "add link" or "create link" in NeoOffice so I tried TextEdit instead and that lets me do what I want. Guess I just needed the right phrase to search for. So http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~acwunits/ works now! If anyone wants to look at it, I'll appreciate any suggestions.
