Send away. I'll be happy to try and reproduce if you'd like. I don't think I have anything earlier than 2.4.1 around (well except for my original StarOffice 5.1 CD), but Ubuntu has files going back to 2.0.2 that I can load. > > There were other dealbreakers as well, such as the American dates > issue when editing a date in Calc.

Anyway, if you'd like to send to me directly I'll be happy to both maintain the confidentiality of the file(s) and see if I can assist. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
