This is the OOo 2.0.2 binary e-build from Gentoo Linux 2006.0. So -- unlike Laurent, I *am* having this problem in Linux OOo. The fact that it has been reported in Windows also suggests that it's an OOo problem. I think this warrants filing a bug report. -Stephen- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
