tThe best way to have problems such as this evaluated is to file an issue. If you haven't already registered, 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. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. It is important that you file the issue to ensure reproducibility with your examples. > > Paul B. wrote: > > I see.
