Bouncer is... well, sometimes 'bouncy'. Instead try m4: http://download.openoffice.org/680/?intcmp=1461 On a mirror close to you, you'll be looking for: OOo-Dev_OOO300_m4_LinuxX86-64_install_en-US_deb.tar.gz (example: ftp://openoffice.cs.utah.edu/pub/openoffice/extended/developer/OOO300_m4/) Changes are listed here: http://development.openoffice.org/releases/ooo3.0.m4_snapshot.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
