Arnold, You didn't specify which operating system you run. However, please read this page and the links it mentions, it *may* be the solution to your problem (I don't know because I don't run OOo 3.0 yet): http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=14786 this said, please also read this recent message (and have a look to the slides linked from there) to know why continuing to send and accept files in any proprietary format, unless one is really forced to do so, is a bad thing: http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=discuss&msgNo=64417 Hope this helps, Marco Fioretti Digital rights activism at http://mfioretti.com -- Your own civil rights and the quality of your life heavily depend on how software is used *around* you: http://digifreedom.net/node/84 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
