Strange I get the same complaints, but it is due to using differnet versions of MS Office and different versions of Windows! Have you looked at customising the toolbars to put some things in the 'right'place, but ask first which version of Office on which version of Windows you want to emulate. In addition for things that have keyboard shortcuts - all the ones I have used are the same. So start with a cheat sheet of these to turn them into 'Power Users' - at least convince them of that. Alternatively I have shown some MS addicts Lindows (not sure of it's current status) and they were quite happy with that. -- Simon Bryan IT Manager OLMC Parramatta -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
