I'm sort of picking up M$ Office a fresh after about five years using Open Office. The only real reason for me to switch was that switching files back and forth between OO and M$ was munging up page layouts for work. I've used M$ Office on and off for years so I'm starting from my twenty yard line instead of the goal line. -- John Duncan Yoyo -------------------------------o) ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
