Actually with a monitor like that (I'm assuming it's a wide screen) you might want to experiment with OOo maximized. OOo 3.0 now provides you with the ability to view multiple pages side-by-side (click on the zoom button and select colums). Doesn't work so well on a 17" in 1024x768, but on your's it should display pretty well. > > I never used 2.4.1 maximized either, yet it always remembered the > window size and location. > > Wait ...

No. That is for adding the OOo menus & only works if you uninstall your Ubuntu OOo. I have found that if I resize my OOo 3.0 start window, the size _is_ retained and is the same when I start it back up. However, I am running the 32bit version, so perhaps your issue may have to do with the 64bit version. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
