Third time lucky. I am guessing but you need an instant answer; therefore I recommend that you contract one of the consultants in your area. Please see http://bizdev.openoffice.org/project/bizdev/consultants.html On the other hand, if you are patient, it is likely that someone will give you an answer or point you to something that will help. Here is a list of resources, some of which you may have missed: - http://user-faq.openoffice.org/#FAQ : where many questions that are frequently asked have been answered or http://documentation.openoffice.org/faqs/index.html - http://documentation.openoffice.org : where you will find alot of relevant documentation; - http://www.ooforum.org : an online help forum; - http://OOoDocs.org : extra documentaion; - http://OOExtras.org : has templates, artwork, labels, etc - http://OOoMacros.org : has extra macros and documentation - http://codesnippets.services.openoffice.org : has macro examples -- Documentation Co-lead "Dinna meddle wi' things ye ken nuthin' aboot!"
