You can use the program 'strace' to see whats happening, it may or may not tell you directly whats wrong. Do the following; strace-o file.name gnumeric After 3 or 4 seconds hit ctrl-c and take a look at, file.name. It will be a large file so you may want to start at the bottom because the chances are thats where the most important info will be, (ie the last few lines). file.name can be just about anyname of course. > > Thanks & regards -- If the Linux community is a bunch of theives because they try to imitate windows programs, then the Windows community is built on organized crime.
