This is a good idea, but IMHO it needs support of the OS for common directories for templates and clip-arts. Unfortunately it is very unprobable that we will see this happen. It is easier to create a constitution for the European Union than it is to get the Linux distributors to create a common platform. :-) But if that really happens some day we will surely try to adopt this. Of course there are still "some" Windows users (something that is so easily forgotten by the Linux disciples), so we face another interesting challenge. but we are used to have problems. :-) Best regards, Mathias -- Mathias Bauer - OpenOffice.org Application Framework Project Lead Please reply to the list only, [EMAIL PROTECTED] is a spam sink. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
