Perhaps I should have mentioned to Brian another reason for my choice of Star Office : My wife "owns" the first partition on my hard disk (hda1) for her windows-stuff, because she refuses to know the first thing about computers. But nevertheless she uses Star Office for windows (it's on the same CD as well). This means that the rest of the family (all linuxer's) can acces stuff on her windows-partion (i.e. spreadsheets, letters etc..) so we all have acces to some common files on hda1. But not vice-versa. That way she can't - even accidentially - destroy anything on our linux-partitions. This setup has proven itself very handy when windows crashes (which happens every now and then), 'cause we use a linux-partition for backups. Everyone's happy. Kaj Haulrich
