Creating a template would be trivial, if one either: * has the specifications; * has a working version of the program; I have no idea if the version of WordPerfect I have, will run on my current system. (It came with either Mandrake 1.0, or Corel's Linux Desktop. I use Ubuntu Christian Edition.) > get as close to the basic WP interface as possible - and since I think a OOo menus can be customized to reflect the layout of WordPerfect. Some, but not all of the keystroke combinations can also be remapped to that which was used by WordPerfect. [Personally, I'd rather remap to the WordStar Command set. But that requires rewriting the OOo code.] The major feature that WordPerfect users want, that OOo does not direclty offer is Reveal Codes; In OOo Reveal codes add zero functionality. None the less, there is a macro that will provide something similar to Reveal codes in Write, and a second macro does that for Calc. xan jonathon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
