Tom thanks for the heads up. Will 4.3 be available for download in advance of the actual Beta release date/ I have been using the 4.2.4 RC1 on my openSUSE 13.1 for the last week. So far no issues with CALC (at least my spreadsheets). Writer still has problems with a .docx document I get each month. Does not show some of the graphics. The version of Word is 2010. I can enter a bug report if necessary and attach the Writer page and one from the PDF to show what it should look like. Let me know where to post the bug.
