Hard to see how that would be the problem. I am the admin on this machine. I've never had to do that initial step before either. Another observation: calc, draw, base,impress, writer - all show the exact same file size: a mere 15,872 bytes. Strange no one else has this problem. Thanks, p. -- Using OOo 2.0 rc1 on Win XP sp2. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
