Hi Dick, if this is a file which opens correctly in MSWord then OOo should also open it correctly. Can you please report this in issuezilla ? ( http://openoffice.org -> "My Pages" -> "Register", then when you receive a confirmation email, "Login" and "File an issue" ) In this way the relevant developers will see your bug report and you will also see the progress of this bug report if it is accepted. If you can attach a minimum file which shows the problem that would also be a very good idea. -- CPH : openoffice.org contributor Maybe your question has been answered already? http://user-faq.openoffice.org/#FAQ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
