Huh! It's really OT I suppose, but you are the first and only other
person I've come across who reads Piers Anthony. I have, I believe, a
paperback copy of every book he ever authored by himself and even a few
of the co-authored ones. With the exception of the "Anthology" I'd have
to read most of them at as few sittings as possible. He is one
fantastic author in the fantasy genre.
At any rate, I've followed the same scenario in his notes as you
have; it was an interesting progression.

He was recommended by an English professor from my second college.
I have been looking in the Used markets to find the missing books
in my collection of Piers Anthony. The trouble now is that many
of his new works are Trade Paperbacks and have to be ordered to get it.
If you want to email me about his works, use [EMAIL PROTECTED],
which is my list registered email address, using your email address
(or throwaway one if needed). I would be glad to trade stories.
We should do off this list.

OO.o does still have some problems with large files and images
though, inside/outside tables, whatever, and the problem carries right
through to the PDF output, unfortunately.

Image trouble with PDF is not just with OOo. I use(d) Acrobat 6, then
7. Both versions
had/have trouble with image movement or deletion in the output file. I
used OOo,
Adobe PageMaker 7, and and a few others. Usually there is one of the
graphics or
photos are either not there or moved to a different place. If Adobe's
one two products
do not get it right, then OOo using coding to write PDF files most
likely would have the
same error(s). Many times I have to print the document out to a
printer, and then
scan it in as a JPeG file, then do some image editing to reduce the size
and them
print it to a PDF file. What a series of steps to get a good b/w or
color document
with graphics or photos to make a PDF file to email to all of the people
who need it.
I went crazy when it did that crap when I was printing to PDF for a 8 to
16 page
newsletter in PageMaker 7. They wanted to have the PageMaker document, just
in case they wanted to use a professional printer to print all the
copies instead of
sending PDFs or b/w 11" by 17" double sided copier printing.
