An ODF to and from Xara filter. I would have thought that integrating Xara with OOo would be a lot of work because Impress is totally dependent on the existing Draw engine so not only would you have to replace draw but also Impress. I'm guessing integration with Uno would also not be straightforward. -- Ian Lynch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ZMSL --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
