It's in the (U)OOo versions as well: /usr/lib/openoffice/program/spadmin and has been part of OOo for quite some time (since at least version 1.0). > > What is it really used for, or why is it needed for Oracle's version of OOo > on the OOo site? > > As I said, this is the first time I have seen it, but cannot find any > reference to it in any documentation I have access to. <http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&complete=0&q=openoffice+%2Bspadmin&btnG=Search> I think it's largely unused any longer for regular users, but the purpose is to set up fonts/printers for OOo exclusively. Examples are in the old 1.1 setup guide: <http://documentation.openoffice.org/files/documents/75/1588/SETUP_GUIDE.pdf> and here: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Font-FAQ Odd that nothing's been documented for OOo 3.x. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org
