I'll meanwhile ask the journalist, who speaks English quite well, for details. The article does mention savings, but only in the context of licensing fees. There does seem to be some implied confusion on the part of the author at the end regarding open formats and open source. And without that distinction a quote taken out of context at the end suggests, incorrectly, only ideological reasons behind the decision. best, Louis -Lars smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature

[discuss] opening MS Excel documents with VB script is broken...
Just thought I'd let you guys know (if you don't already) that opening MS Office 2003 documents that contain VB controls and code doesn't work. the controls look like they are there but can't be edited at all and all the code simply vanishes. A lot of people that use spreadsheets on a regular basis will inevitably use VB controls and code and the fact that openoffice can't handle it (or offer a competitive alternative) is really crippling. Apart from that congrats on the awesome job so far! Peace Alex
[discuss] Font Issue
There appears to be a font problem with v2.0 compared to v1.1. When using special characters for the Spanish language v2.0 corrupts the text.

Yes. The selected UI language can be set on a per user base. You can derive this from the fact that the UI language can be selected in Tools-Options. Every setting you select inside the application goes to the user part of the configuration because the "share" part is not writable.

[discuss] Impress - text display problems and animation
Hi all, I have installed OpenOffice2.0.0-2 on a Kanotix Debian Linux distro and use OpenOffice in KDE3.4.2. I have noticed an annoying behavior of Impress, that occurs whenever I want to edit a text box with multiple text lines: when I click on the text box to edit the text, the bottom text line is partially or totally invisible. If, for example, I wanto to add some text below, I have to guess where the bottom line terminates, click there with the mouse, type return, and then the line reappears. Otherwise there are no problems with visualization of the bottom line, including slide shows. As a second problem, in the Openoffice2 version I am not able to find the "Animation effects" button (or any equivalent tool) that used to exist in former versions. There is a button called "Custom animation" but it doesn't seem to work, as nothing happens when I click on it. This is a serious limitation in creating slide presentations.
