I see. In Japan "OpenOffice" is the registered trademark (No.4688483, registered on July 4, 2003) [1] owned by Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd.[2] [1] http://www1.ipdl.inpit.go.jp/syutsugan/TM_DETAIL_A.cgi?0&2&0&1&5&132153723258785500651374 [2] http://www.fujixerox.co.jp/company/about/oof.html We have been using "OpenOffice.org" for a long time in Japan, no problem. :) Thanks, khirano
