Back when OO.o first came out I tried to make the point that making it Just Like Microsoft was a losing proposition. Why would anyone change if there was no benefit? They had to pay for Office anyway so there was no incentive for them to change. I lost that discussion. Looks like the developer mindset is still stuck in reverse gear. > The Autocorrect experience was the last straw. Ever since I have used only > the version from OOo.

I get that with 3.2.1 since my printer has the duplexer attachment. I've learned that on multipage documents to print them one at a time.
