Following CPHennessy's suggestion, I have subscribed to the [email protected] mailing list: my address was added on Friday 26 August and I immediately sent a message to this list.
Unfortunately, till now, nobody answered. Is this to be expected? On Thursday 25 August, I had already asked the same questions at the “OpenOffice.org Writer Forum” from “OOoForum.org” and, till now, nobody answered too. If I can't get help from the [email protected] and [email protected] mailing lists and from “OpenOffice.org Writer Forum”, what else can I do? Thanks in advance.
