Me too. :^( The _only_ thing that OpenOffice has going for it is that foreign language dictionaries are free. Once you finally figure out the juju to install them and make them work. And learn how you need to fight OO to make it willing to actually use them. In retrospect, it would have been worth the money to buy the dictionaries for MS Office. My wife might not have retreated from her willingness to try other OSes. OO is _not_ the application to put on a Windows box to showcase what modern GNU/Linux has to offer. -Phil
