Thank you very much for that link (I did not find it, though I must say
I did not look for an individual wiki per element) !

Again, thank you very much, that was it !
(And in hindsight, I should have thought of UTF-8 in the context of OOo!)

Well, both worlds, where the main one is Windows at the moment, but
lately I have been busyly re-exploring installation stuff on Linux
(working on a one-click installer for BSF4ooRexx which makes the ooRexx
scripting language with OOo support available not only on Windows, but
with the same simplicity for Linux - testing on the latest Ubuntu). One
editor I like to use is vim/gvim (for which I also created the syntax
highlighting for ooRexx, as the OOo snippets use vim to syntax highlight
the code).

"So oder so:" I owe you almost an entire case of beer by now, judging
from all the great help (from hints, pointers to out-grown examples) you
have been given on poor people's requests !
(Are you participating at the upcoming OOo-Con in Budapest by any chance?)

Again, thank you very much!
