Thank you for the correction/clarification. So a couple of questions: 1. Would these SO8 fixes then correspond with OOo fixes? <http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-21-120184-16-1> [issues with digits greater than 5] 2. Given that fixes in #1 with digits greater than 5 are (as I understand it) StarOffice fixes rather than OOo fixes, is it not possible that the issue noted in this thread may have been fixed in the SO9 release? And yes, I know who Mathias Bauer is :-) so I'm not foolish enough to be confrontational, just trying to better understand the SO/OOo difference so that I avoid creating urban legends in the future. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
