--- Comment #2 from bogdan.birnicu@altom.ro ---
I was able to reproduce the behaviour described in the initial bug report.
Below is the description of my approach:

Configuration details:
*MacBook Air, macOS Sierra, version 10.12
*OpenOffice version 3.4.1
*PC, Windows 10.
*Microsoft Word version 2007


Test scenario:
Use Open Office to open a file generated with Microsoft Word containing more
than 100 hyperlinks. Check if the hyperlinks work.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Use Microsoft Word to create a document containing 110 hyperlinks that link
to a local file. A link example was: ../Desktop/Rise.wmv
2. Save document using .doc (97/2000/XP) format;
3. Move the document to a MacBook machine;
4. Open the document with Open Office;
5. Press command + click on a link.

Expected result: the file was opened, or an error message is displayed stating
that the file does not exist or that the path is incorrect.

Actual result: the following error message is displayed: OpenOffice.org could
not find a web browser on your system. Please check your Desktop Preferences or
install a web browser (for example, Mozilla) in the default location requested
during the browser installation.

Right-clicking on the hyperlink then on "edit hyperlink" shows that OO sees the
link as: file:///Users/MyUsername/Desktop/Desktop/Rise.wmv


Follow-up testing:

Test 2: 
I have changed the link type to point to a .doc file. The link was:
../Desktop/TestDoc.doc
I have performed the rest of the steps in the same manner as above.

The error message that appeared on the screen was:
/Users/MyUsername/Desktop/Desktop/TestDoc.doc does not exist


Test 3: 
I have only added 1 link in the document. The result did not change => the
behaviour of the app is not influenced by the number of hyperlinks.


Test 4:
I have used Microsoft Word to create a document containing hyperlinks pointing
to websites (eg. www.google.com).
I have performed the same sequence of steps as in the initial test. 
Result: the links worked as intended and the website was opened in the default
browser.
