Hi Donna, I wouldn't say that large size is necessarily a result of OOo. Don't be too quick to dismiss a product because of one person's experience. OOo has a lot going for it and many organizations are using it exclusively and successfully. If my software licenses purchased by my employer didn't allow me to also install the programs on my home computer, I might be doing a lot more at home with Open Office. As it is, my old computer is in the process of being reconfigured to run Linux and associated open source software. Open Office will certainly be on that computer.

It wasn't that I hadn't made the settings, it was that I'd somehow managed to specify the wrong joboptions file. All is well, and my 28-page booklet, formerly 22MB, is now 214MB. But crisp and clean, and that's what counts. --------------------------- 214 MB for a 28-page booklet??? Yikes! That wouldn't be acceptable for us because we post our PDFs on our web site. Even 22 MB would be too large. I'm glad that I know this. It will make me avoid OOo if I can (as will not knowing what that small letter O stands for! [shudder]).
