I tried OO recently and was plesently supprised. This was after reinstalling my main PC and I couldn't be bothered to go through the Office activation stuff. In the end I had to install Word anyway. SWMBO wanted to fill in a job application form that arrived as RTF. Everything worked fine in OO except we couldn't click the checkboxes. -- Paul _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
