How about a 60 page company annual report with multiple graphs, numerous tables, pages in assorted formats etc, all of which was done in pagemaker 6 (afair) - with innumerable crashes. Btw MSorifice was simply unusable period. Although OO is not a layout tool, it handles such docs with ease and NEVER CRASHED. Your statement about OO is rubbish. If u are talking about cross compatability never mind OO to MSoffice, MSoffice itself has problems loading it's own spread sheets, pics and tables into a doc. Infact The whole excercise using M$ was extremely frustrating, requiring innmerable iterations between layout artist, hardcopy review (CS, CA etc particularly for figures) and printer. This was in 2002 and MSoffice and old doc files (and pcb layout) was the only reason to have doze. I finally dumped all work sat for a week and converted all .doc to sxw and havent booted into doze for any work (other than testing ) for 4 yrs. -- Rgds JTD -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
