Hi Phil, That's correct. You have to think of OOo a little differently to other competitor's suites. OpenOffice.org is a single application with different user interfaces, rather than a bunch of non-related individual applications bundled together as a "suite". Calc is one of those interfaces, not a separate application. This is most easily demonstrated by the fact that you can open any of those interfaces from the file menu rather than having to launch a different application. This has a number of advantages, one of which is a relatively small download size in relation to the breadth of functionality. If however, a standalone Open Source spreadsheet package is an absolute necessity to you, then there is always Gnumeric (http://gnumeric.org) Cheers GL -- Graham Lauder, OpenOffice.org MarCon (Marketing Contact) NZ http://marketing.openoffice.org/contacts.html INGOTs Assessor Trainer (International Grades in Office Technologies) www.theingots.org Open Opportunities ltd.
