I agreed with Jochen, exporting is pointless unless you already have
something on the QL that you need to convert, and 99% of the time Geoff's
QL2PC does that admirably.
If you have to use OpenOffice on a PC to print QL documents, why not get
rid of the QL altogther and just use OpenOffice to begin with?
Or buy a BIC Pen - much cheaper than an inkjet anyway :-))
cheers.
