Julio, Not to detract from anything James Knott said, here's a different take on it: Is it possible this is a display issue? When you say MSO does it fine and OOo doesn't, is that being done on the same exact physical machine, or on two machines? If it's all on the same machine, then the rest of this is moot and you can quit reading<g>. If it's on two different machines, and if the line isn't perfectly vertical or horizontal, then it may look jagged as you seem to describe. This can be attributed to differences in video card settings, program settings and probably other areas I'm not thinking of right now. The higher the screen resolution, the "smoother" a line will look. The lower the resolution, the more jagged it'll look. Same thing at print time. And especially true with jpeg files. And if it's smooth but just not "straight" as in not vertical or not horizontal, it could even be the rotations settings on the video drivers or the monitor. There are more too, but before I seem to appear to be talking down to you, I'll stop here and wait for confirmation or further clarifications.
