Actually - those issues have been addressed. From the page you linked to: <quote> March 30, 2005: NeoOffice/J 1.1 Release Candidate is released. With this release, NeoOffice/J now supports all features in OpenOffice.org 1.1.4 including drag-and-drop between NeoOffice/J and other applications. The source and binaries can be downloaded here. December 21, 2004: NeoOffice/J 1.1 Beta is released. With this release, NeoOffice/J now supports all features in OpenOffice.org 1.1.3 including mouse wheel and drag-and-drop support. The source and binaries can be downloaded here. </quote> The latest version of NeoOffice/J is based on the latest version of OOo. It supports drag and drop between apps, mouse scroll wheels, and all the latest bugfixes from OOo. The latest version is NeoOffice/J 1.1 Release Candidate. There's no reason at all not to use NeoOffice/J if you have a Mac OS X computer. It's the best of all possible worlds... *Eagerly awaiting his pre-ordered copy of Tiger....* -Chad Smith --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
