Which was why the NEA conference was interesting. Most people had never heard of OOo. We should really be seeking out environments where there are open-minded potential new users, not just preaching to the converted. That is a fundamental part of the INGOT strategy. We have now certificated over 2500 people and most of them using MS Office with the lowest level certificate. As they progress they will at least have heard of OOo and for Gold will have taken part in the community. -- Ian Lynch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ZMSL --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
