Very good reference indeed. IMHO, the main drawback of OOo vs M$Word is that it tries too much to imitate the latter.
I use OOo a lot, but i find it much harder to work with than FrameMaker. It seems to default to arbitrary formatting rather than paragraph and character formatting tags, which it has. Like M$W, OOo does too much guessing on what you are going to to regarding numbering etc. Bodvar On 2/1/07, Steve Rickaby <srickaby at wordmongers.demon.co.uk> wrote: > At 06:39 -0500 1/2/07, Rebecca.L.Frasure at aphis.usda.gov wrote: > > >Someone left on my desk (presumably to irritate the heck out me), an article > >from the January STC Magazine Intercom called "Old Software."
