This is a much better idea. However, I should note that even ODF files--despite the hype--are not 100% on preserving formatting when moved from one application to another. I have my letterhead saved as ODF done in OOo, but when I open it in AbiWord the formatting is all over the place. - -- Steven Shelton Deputy Undersecretary for Made-up Titles -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk0eAVIACgkQO+AD2HqgRoAjEQCgtP6N89BiTGWq+bUaO+rgfsmt LJcAn0j5u5MRhvhlxLtUWjZVVO6L1Yh7 =hFE0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
