That > was until I had the misfortune to use Impress to complete a piece of > coursework for my University Masters Degree. > > The stability of this program is a joke I have twice lost my work and > had to start again due to the fact that it could not recover the > document or go back to a previously saved version either way losing a > lot of progress on my assignment. Every time I saved Windows advised > me of a non responsive application. > > Suffice to say I am not impressed with this and Open Office no longer > forms part of my software package and is unlikely to be reinstalled in > the future. I suspect that like most packages you have decided to > bloat it out with unnecessary features which means the simple tasks > are now considerably more difficult. > You have emailed a list which is primarily composed of happy OpenOffice.org users numbering in their thousands. Are you sure that the right course of action is to piss them off? Did you actually attempt to resolve the issues you speak of by utilising this list for it's intended purpose, as a help tool? Were you trying to save in ODF format or Microsoft Office formats which may not support all the features of an Impress presentation? -- Michael All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well - Julian of Norwich 1342 - 1416 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
