Hi :) Thanks :) It's actually easier for me to go from machine to machine and do 1. Open LibreOffice 2. Switch off quick starter 3. Install newer version of LO 4. Check for updates 5. switch on quick starter again than to listen to them go on and on about how slow LO is to start-up. it is a little slower than MSO but not by much. perhaps if the spalsh screen and progress bar appeared earlier to give them something to look at. Anyway i really should get on and install the 4.0.4 today if i can.
