(cross fingers) I can successfully import/export Word, excel, ppt documents successfully, and although some will say that some formatting loss occurs, I haven't experienced this as of yet, as most of the documents I use are text only without images. I have no experience with files under Office 2003 however. Cheers!

I first fetched the packages for jdk14 so that all is ready for compilation. Just make sure you have plenty of swap too (I needed atleast 128M). If that's your problem, you could add some space in a swap file for now and then delete it later (see the handbook).

I'll try that right away. You don't by any chance have OpenOffice-1.1 working do you? That's where I'm going with this, but I have to get jdk working first. attempting to install jdk takes 6+ hrs on my machine. :-) -- Thanks, Charles http://howse.homeunix.net:8080 Random Murphy's Law: You can't guard against the arbitrary. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
