It is also being shipped with Win7. I've a new laptop & repartitioned for linux. However I kept Win7 as a boot option & brought up Works. Works actually looks very much like OOo; same/similar icon sets. Found that I can 'save-as' to Word 2007 .docx and standard .doc. Of course I can't open the test .wps doc that I created with Works version 9.0 with standard OOo. I can (of course) open it without issues with the go-oo/novell version of OOo (Ubuntu 3.1.1 and Windows go-oo 3.1.1). But all of that is a subject for another thread & really has nothing to do with 'Inserting page numbers' which is the subject of this thread. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
