Hi Cameron, Sorry to hear about your disaster with OO.I had similar frustrations a while back when I first tested OO Writer and saved in Word 95 format.
However, it's now the only word processor I use at home -- and that includes all work I take home (OpenOffice 1.0.1 in Linux, 1.0.2 in Windows) -- and I write for a living. One thing that makes a big difference (re formatting) is if you set Word 97/2000/XP as the default save (rather than Word 95).(Tools/Options and "Load/Save" and General. In the dropdown menu under “Always Save As,” choose “MS Word 97/2000/XP.”) I much prefer it to Word 97 and Word 2002, which I use at work. Granted, I submit everything electronically and don't have to worry about formatting -- but I still wouldn't write it off. Good luck, Pat On Sun, 2003-03-30 at 23:07, Cameron Nikitiuk wrote: > F-ing peice of crap OOs!!! > > I have spent hours trying to recreate my resume after a data loss.
