The installed version is OpenOffice.org 2.4. Note: Before downloading an update, please ensure that you have sufficient access rights to install it. A password, usually the administrator's or root password, may be required. </quote> Manfred -- Proofreading in OpenOffice.org by Mathias Bauer <http://blogs.sun.com/GullFOSS/entry/proofreading_in_openoffice_org> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
