summary of my problems:
with star office 5.2: i cant open the MSoffice files from a vfat directory. i copy the files to my home dir and open it from there. then copy the file back to vfat dir as i update it. with open office 1.0: i can open MSoffice files from my vfat dir but xls files are being opened with 0.01" as the row height. adjusting the row hgieht of a 100kb xls file hangs up my machine. my work around: 1. copy all xls from vfat to my /home 2. use SO 5.2 to open my xls files, 3. save them as .sdc files 4. use Open Office1.0 5. and get rid of MSoffice. any better idea? thnks, karl On Fri, 21 Jun 2002, Linus Karl wrote: > i found whats causing it. its the row height. when OOo opens the file, it > uses 0.03" as the height for the rows. now, all i have to do is to find > the settings that would set the default row to a manageable size. > > thanks, > > karl > > On Fri, 21 Jun 2002, Gideon N.
