The above makes sense if you have planned your work in advance. However, consider how most people work. Consider how you yourselves work. Surely I can't be the only person here who, to save space or whatever has cropped images already in the document or resized them and then thought to myself "this doesn't need to take up 1MB anymore". Saying to the user "Hard luck, you will have to edit your images in some imaging program that might scare you or that might be time-consuming" is only likely to have them say "Well, you be like that if you want - I'm going back to using Word because it does what I want." Likewise, saying to someone already used to MS Word that they will have to get used to Writer AND install the GIMP (plus GTK, plus the seperate help files) is hardly going to help them become friends with OOo. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
