At home now on Linux so can't test this. Does OpenOffice.org have a *Repair* option in the "Add/remove software" (Control Panel) utility on Vista or WS2008? I know it isn't "Add/remove software" any more but i can find the right one when back at work. I am actually hoping for a Windows utility or something to do this. Looking at a re-install as a last-last resort. -- 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: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org
