In addition to the above comments, please do not "hijack threads". In e-mail a conversation is known as a thread and to hijack a thread is to change the topic of conversation. In your case the topic was cutting and pasting with OpenOffice whereas you seem to want to discuss macros. Hijacking a thread is extremely bad manners, just as it would be in a real conversation. So, instead of hitting the "Reply" button in your e-mail program and simpy changing the Subject line, if you want to start a new conversation please use the "Create New Message" button or whatever it is called in your particular e-mail program. If you think about it you might come to realise that this has a number of advantages both for you and for others. -- Harold Fuchs London, England Please reply *only* to [email protected]
