Thanks, Drew, in particular for the repositories ! I've now used them to replace OOo 2.4.1 with OOo 3.0.0 and while I've not yet had the time to test the latter thoroughly, it seems at first glance to work well. This means I now have 3.0.0 (in Swedish) for «serious work» and the DEV300m37 build (in US English) with which to play. Only the bold deserve the fair ?... Henri
