You are welcome but you missed the important stuff at the bottom of the message, at least from the ensuing messages so let me repeat: Where users have a problem that needs to be addressed with examples, the best way to have problems such as these evaluated is to file an issue. If users haven't already registered, the should do the following: To file an issue you must register with OOo by clicking the Register link at the top right of www.openoffice.org, filling in your information and replying to the confirmation email that will be sent to the address you provided. Once you have confirmed, go to www.openoffice.org again and click on the "Bugs & Issues" link in the General links box. This procedure addresses the problem where users do not have a webpage or repository. However, getting a free webpage that allows file transfer is not all that difficult. geocities is one that allows this for free -- Documentation Co-Lead PLEASE - keep list traffic on the list. Email sent directly to me may be ignored utterly. "Dinna meddle wi' things ye ken nuthin' aboot!"
