Rob; I agree completely that updating and keeping the current license is the best way forward. The only way I see to achieve what you are referring to is to create a new set of pages and manually copy the wikitext from one to the other. The move command renames the old to the new and sets the old as a redirect to the new. This is not a copy operation, but more on the lines of the move command in dos. <snip> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
