You are now a registered member of OpenOffice.org. This mail message is the first of two; the second message will contain your new password. It may take some time to reach you; please be patient. ... Well, it has been seven months, and it was several months the time before. Having been patient, I now ask for assistance. What happened to the second mail? My best guess is that it was rejected by the spam filter, but without any idea of the source address I haven't been successful finding the entry in the logs. I can whitelist an address, but only if I know what that address is, in advance. (The same spam filter does not appear to have a problem with the OOO discussion, native-language, or announcement mailing lists.) There was no indication in the first mail regarding what action to take if the second mail were not to arrive. I was unable to find a clue in the web site documentation. Alternatively, is there another way to register that does not involve the second e-mail? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

However i would have expected to be able to select two versions and click compare to see the differences between those two versions. Currently there doesn't seem to be an easy way to do this.

Re: [discuss] WORDPERFECT
The current "stable" version of OpenOffice.org does not open WP files but the next version (2.0) will. It's due out in a month or two. You can try the beta version right now. Just go to www.openoffice.org and click on the "beta" link. Disclaimer: This version can only *read* WP files, not write them. I don't know when it'll be able to write, but I know it'll be a long time. Hope that helps. Cheers, Daniel.

[discuss] Odd behavior of 1.9.118 ...
I've noticed some "odd" behavior of 118 as compared with the 95, 100, 104, 109 and 113 releases. It crashes a *lot* more often. (I know that beta releases ... etc., but this is an unexpected change for the worse - when I figure out how to make it crash repeatably I'll file a but report.) I get the same results on 3 different linux boxes. The only constant is the the first time I try to save a document - ANY document - in writer, I get an error show-box which states: Error loading BASIC of document file:/// (full path name to file) General Error. General input/output error. If I then click OK, I get exactly the same error show-box repeated. After I click on that one, the file saves properly. I'm working on figuring out what is tripping the crash - full crash and next start recovery process works - and when I do that I'll file a bug report.
