Hi, Hausa! Sounds Good! I am also interested in Amharic. They have own letters :) http://encyclopedia.laborlawtalk.com/Amharic_language Now we have to get those language speaking people to l10n (localization) lists first. Then we encourage them to form a NLP (native language project). And we he

I've noticed something that I don't particularely like in OOo. When I deselect toolbars from the View menu in Writer, or other OOo components, they will disapear for that session. When I come back into OOo, they'll be back again. Now this wouldn't be so bad, except that there isn't a "hide all to
