Not sure about this one - to be honest I haven't used a non-Novell built version of OO.o for ages... sorry. > 2)does Novell (or OOo) maintain a windows release with the added VBA > and fonts support?

I think this may be updated round about the SLE 10 SP1/OES 2 release though. I can't find a Novell built 2.1 for Windows I'm afraid.
