1. I do believe you (and never said otherwise) 2. It's true: OOo isn't the same as MSO, and doesn't intend to be 3. I can't look at it in Word, because I haven't got that program 4. I used Alt-letter and Ctrl-letter macros all the time in good old WordPerfect... 5. reply to the list, so others might benefit or help -- Guy using dutch OOo Aqua 3.0.0 on a iMac Intel DualCore Tiger and brazilian OOo Aqua 3.0.0 on an Intel MacBook Pro Leopard -- please reply only to [email protected] -- Dodoes can't afford to have headaches
