[gentoo-user] ooffice draw can't export to eps anymore

2008-02-14 Thread Iain Buchanan
Hi all, I used to make drawings in openoffice draw, and then choose File export. From there I could choose to export them as eps, which is great for putting in my latex documents. However, that option isn't there anymore. The last timestamp on the last eps drawing I exported is May 15 2006.
