1. Try the monitor with another computer. If it does not work, it has

I have noticed that the Open Office Word processor in Hardy Heron shifts
text to the left when followed by a Tab.
The HowTo that I have sent out to those who asked for a copy shows an
indistinct double hyphen in the code which could easily be interpreted as
one hyphen.

Two HowTos to make the migration to Hardy Heron smoother.

2. Transporting your Firefox Bookmarks (24.3 KB).
Both yours if you like.
