Go do a search on the Fedora mailing list and use my e-mail address to find a post titled *Fedora/RH policies sometimes suck* where I shared detailed information about a huge difference in functionality in Calc between the fedora versions of OpenOffice.org and the Official versions of OpenOffice.org. The post I started on that mailing list sparked a fire storm. There must have been more 200 posts on that one topic. I am no longer on that list because I switched from Fedora after 4 years when F7 came out. I use PCLinuxOS 2007 and love it they even have the official version of OpenOffice.org as part of their distro. They update OpenOffice.org rather quickly when a new version comes out. -- http://24.197.142.167/ See the OpenOffice.org FAQ Microsoft users go to http://www.pclinuxos.com for a great user friendly Linux experience! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
