In an ideal world that would be a great solution for ODF and OO.o, BUT: * You are pushing s#!t uphill to get everyone to adopt ODF first over the native document format of the incumbent. * There is a circuitous method to save using the plugin if SP2 is installed. * Generally people have shortly after using MSO07 found customers etc. who cannot read DOCX files and request DOC files instead. -- Michael --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
