Well this is where extensions come in, got the Gimp installed ? download a set of gimp menus. Want to email using thunderbird ? download that extension. Part of the reason MS software has problems is that it requires integration with lots of their other products. So outlook requires exchange to work well which requires the crappy IIS and active directory and a well configured MS DNS and ISA server and if any of that is imperfectly configured then the whole lot falls in a heap. Its better to keep OOo integration modular and optional so extensions that link to the market leaders like thunderbird or evolution are the way to go. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
