point taken. on receiving your email, sandip, have published the openoffice source document on the linux-delhi downloads area immediately. > I fact I strongly feel that we Luggers should start promoting the > OpenOffice sxw format as much as possible.

OO does a superior job of typesetting than MSOffice, imho, in some aspects. incidentally, have been using openoffice for all my wordprocessing to extreme use (in my domains) for nearly a year. it rocks. earlier, used to experiment with staroffice5.2 though my favourite wordprocessor (sentimental+inspiring) has always been MacWrite, which i first used in 1985. okay, let's have a show of hands, how many of you *really* use openoffice? :-) LL _______________________________________________ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
