Hi John, Thanks - I am aware of this.
As I have been converting docs for the Community Media space, I have found that my old Pentium III computer cannot handle medium-size doc exports into Mediawiki from Open Office....my Core2Duo laptop handles it no problem. Trouble is, many folks (particularly in the developing world) may not have access to this type of computing power. So, a 'one-step' would be preferable to the 'two-step', in my view. - Randy On Sun, Aug 2, 2009 at 10:19 PM, john stampe <jwsta...@yahoo.com> wrote: > Done! > > One thought did appear to me as I wrote this.
