This is kind of strange -- cause I can pick from 12 different version
of English (including one for Canada --ay) , and flip between UK and US
versions regularly, and I have never seen open office convert a file
without popping up a dialog box warning me that I am going to overwrite
an existing file or loose some formatting or something. I am also not
sure that I would save Open Office and Word perfect files with the same
extension, I would think that would get confusing.

options to convert it back to WP without changing the format. When
I think of the ones developing this program, the word "idiots" come
to my mind, but I will not use it, since it is not nice to do so.
Anyway, I look forward to the day when I can use OpenOffice, that
is; when it is international (proper English) and not American
only.

Orjan,
Please refrain from such comments on a public list. It is uncalled
for. OOo is not "American Only", there are internationalized
dictionaries for many of the world's languages and dialects. Almost
all of them have been written by unpaid volunteers so that you may
one day have a completely open and free tool for writing documents.
Isn't this the second time recently that you have posted to this list
in that tone?
Alan
