I thought I had read it clearly, but I must have missed that part. I don't know how. Maybe I tune it out because I've dealt with too many people that look at OOo, try it for 2 minutes, say, "It won't work," and then I ask them to show me how to do a few things in Office and realize they really don't even have much of a clue with Office. With OOo 2.x, there's really no reason to stick with Office any longer unless the PHB orders it. > Personally I am a bigger fan of openoffice but it does have problems > with properly formatting word documents. I've never really had a problem with that. Are you dealing with specific or unusual formatting? Hal -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
