You do realize that this is not an OOo problem but rather one of how you have your system configured. I suggest that you get a copy of htmlview from one of the redhat repositories and use it to select your broswer that way, when you're using your browser it won't start up a separate instance when that browser already happens to be running. If that is not possible it is likely that HP has a similar tool for you so talk to your system administrator. -- Documentation Co-Lead http://documentation.openoffice.org/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
