Thanks. I'm not really looking forward to using those formats either. But I have to answer my head of the department who asked me this question. I'll also tell her that these formats are not standard ones. ODF is very popular here in government institutions. But not in my other places. I'll probably create another presentation on the advantages of using ODF. =) -- Cheers, Bhargav Prasanna --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
