Since you are thinking of the long term, it would be worth having a look
at the forthcoming ooo2 snapshot - notice it's not recommended for
production use. You can download from
http://download.openoffice.org/680/index.html
There is a drawing toolbar with sets of shapes which are similar to the
ones offered in Word, though they are organised differently
John,
Thanks for the suggestion. "Snapshots" are new to me and so I'm
intimidated. How do I handle a snapshot, how do I look at it, and
where should I download it to? Will it load alongside my regular
1.1.4 and show up in my programs tray in Win XP? And then how do I
do an uninstall? I'm afraid I'll have two conflicting programs and
everything will get scrambled. Anyone out there have any clues for me?
Kevin
You look at a snapshot just by running it.
Having two version at one should pose no trouble. I currently run 1.1.4,
1.9.74, & 1.9.78. When a new build comes out, I uninstall the second
oldest snapshot and then I have the two most recent on my system.
There is no real reason to be afraid as long as you maintain using 1.1.4
for anything important. If you do use a snapshot for critical files that
need to opened in 1.1.4 later, make sure you save in OOo 1.1.x format.
HTH,
Also, the 2.0 beta (snapshot 1.9m79) has a much-improved installer. It
will automatically install for all users on your WinXP. No more 2-step
installations as in 1.1.x :)
