This is how I made the .odt of my christmascard, originally built in OOo-1.1.2 IIRC, the .sxw was 506k and the OOo2.0 saved .odt was 534k. A 28k size difference is a never mind to me. Maybe the original .sxw referenced an image that was pulled in at load time, but the .odt already contains that image? But thats just a swag*. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
