Hi Michael, Can you please report this in issuezilla ? ( http://openoffice.org -> "My Pages" -> "Register", then when you receive a confirmation email, "Login" and "File an issue" ) In this way the relevant developers will see your bug report / suggestion and you will also see the progress of this feature / bug report if it is accepted. Also for your problem - I would try to rename the cache directory with another name and then restart OpenOffice.org. Please reply to users@openoffice.org only -- CPH : openoffice.org contributor Maybe your question has been answered already? http://user-faq.openoffice.org/#FAQ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
