I don't understand, why you are complaining. Have you tried the new version of OOo? The cropping tool for images has - in my opinion - improved a lot. I don't know how Word does the cropping (I haven't used Word for some time now), but I think that OOo does it now well enough that you don't need any extra program like GIMP to crop the pictures you want to insert. Try it out. Sigrid --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
