Hello, Thanks for your suggestion. This idea has been discussed before, but it is unlikely that it will happen any time soon. The reason is, OpenOffice.orgis too big to run as a web app. And trying to strip it down to run online - and then recoding it to run in a browser - that would be a heck of a lot more difficult than simply writing a new web app that has similar functionality. In fact, there are plenty of online alternatives to OOo already. http://www.ajaxlaunch.com/ - has a word processor, drawing program, spreadsheet viewer, and several other applications - AjaxWrite can save to .doc - either online or to your hard drive. http://www.writely.com/ - is an online word processor, and it can save to the .odt OpenDocument format, the .doc Word format, and even PDF. And these can be saved either online or to your hard drive. http://spreedsheet.google.com/ - is an online spreadsheet program which can save a cvs or xls online or to your hard drive. http://www.zoho.com/ - has a ton of apps, including a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation software - (those are all free, some of their other apps are not free). And then there are some places, like http://www.workspot.com/ or http://www.goowy.com/ - that have an entire OS in your browser. WorkSpot is a full version of Linux, and OpenOffice.org is included, although it may be an older version. WorkSpot has a free trial - but it only lasts 10 minutes. Goowy, on the other hand, is writen entirely for online use, and it's completely free, but I don't think it has an office suite - although I'm sure it's being developed. These are just a few of the online alternatives to OpenOffice.org. None of them (other than maybe WorkSpot - since it runs OOo) have all the functions of OOo, but if you are wanting to run something online, then you probably don't need all the functions of a complete office suite. Another alternative, if you just need a word processor, is AbiWord - http://www.abiword.com/ - It is cross-platform, open-source, free, and multi-lingual. It also supports the OpenDocument standard. And it is a much smaller download. Hope that helps. -- - Chad Smith http://www.gimpshop.net/ http://www.whatisopenoffice.org/ http://www.chadwsmith.com/ --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Next-gen email?
