Well, I just looked up the catalogue entry for the item http://www.dse.com.au/cgi-bin/dse.storefront/41f0e8d1001746f0273fc0a87f9c070b/Product/View/XH8250 and it makes no mention of OOo being included. I only noticed when I looked at the driver disk and saw OpenOffice.org written on the disk. I'll have to scan the disk and send a jpg :) tim -- --------------------------------------------------------- Tim & Therese Fairchild Atchafalaya Border Collies.
