I recently had to deal with the exact same problem in PowerPoint; non-embeddable files are referenced by absolute pathnames, including drive letters. This yeilds a similar level of nonportability for presentations. Fortunately for me, search-and-replace on the path fixed the file without corrupting it, so OOo is still more hateful. -- ...computer contrarian of the first order... / http://aperiodic.net/phil/ PGP: 026A27F2 print: D200 5BDB FC4B B24A 9248 9F7A 4322 2D22 026A 27F2 --- -- Join the non sequitur society.
