i don't think you can find 6 beta anymore, and 5.2 is not as nice, but you can always grab 5.2 and wait a few months with the rest of us.... secondly, even if you do have to buy it, it is only bought once. install it on 1, 3, or 3000 machines. :-) other help sources http://search.dmoz.org/cgi-bin/search?search=staroffice On Saturday 26 January 2002 09:22, you spoke unto me thusly: > Ok so the problem is the free version won't work with my video card?
