It's the Ubuntu PPA, which may well explain why the OOo update option isn't included - the PPA version gets updated via Ubuntu. Thanks for the reminder, NoOp ! But it would still be of interest to hear if others who have installed a non-English (US) version OOo 3.0.1 directly from the OOo page see the OOo online-update option or not.... Henri
