Hi Peter,
I'll make a note to submit an issue but I'm waiting first to see
some sort of acceptance/refusal of an issue I already submitted: I had
to send a couple of files directly instead of attached as usual to the
Issue (file size) and I'm waiting to see that they were accepted before
I do anything else.
I'm a newbie to OOo and submitting issues so it's just an attempt at
making sure things go right before I create more than one "mess"<g>.
Oh, and yes I had chosen the Word filter. Being a newbie I'm also
trying to make certain it isn't just plain old cockpit error.
Thanks much,
Twayne
