The problem is not with OpenOffice.org but it is with Microsoft Office. OpenOffice.org has the only OASIS, ISO and IEC approved Open Standard Format. Microsoft refuses to use the standard that has been approved by OASIS, ISO and IEC. The Microsoft format was rejected by the same groups. So my question to you is why would you want to use or recommend to any one an Office package that does not use internationally accepted and adopted standards? You are basically using the wrong standard for comparing other tools that do similar work. If you want to use Microsoft Office, you should be asking on their mail list, news groups or web forums, when are they going to correct the error in their package? -- http://24.197.142.167/~jack/openofficefaq.php Read 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]
