Presumably this has allowed programmers to compare how good the previous reverse engineering was. There are still discrepancies between office and OO.o.

Of course if your cousin sends you Publisher files just send them back. 95%+ of the files that people typically use Publisher for could be done in Word or Writer. -- Michael All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well - Julian of Norwich 1342 - 1416 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
