------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri May 2 22:58:35 +0000 2008 ------- mba: quote - You are confusing things here. - end quote I observe that as a user of both XPpro and ubuntu clients, I see consistent behaviour on the school network when failing to open files on Linux Samba servers by clicking on browsed icons. It is an OOo feature, not an OOo-on Windows feature, since it is evident in the MS-free zone of Debian server and Ubuntu client. In all the same situations, if I replace OOo with Adobe Acrobat the problem goes away. IMHO that makes it a cross platform issue for OOo. For my personal purposes, the work-around is to export all my documentation to PDF format (no hardship for what I publish) then everything works for everybody who needs to see (but not to change) my material. But OOo as a working tool for pupils to replace MsOffice is not viable for the earlier reasons. On MS clients an alternative work around is to use mapped drives, and some more competent users can and do occasionally use this route - but there is no real point to the hassle. Ubuntu does not even have the concept of the mapped drive. Please don't think of this as a Microsoft Only problem. In a Samba-server based environment it hurts Linux users too. If you really do believe OOo has two separate bugs responsible for this cross-platform behaviour, I will raise a separate issue. But sooner or later I suspect it will be Duped by somebody and we will all be back here together again!
