No doubt, but then I might get delusions of grandeur of something, thinking I'm an OOo guru, when I'm the farthest thing from it due to a profound lack of use since I retired & don't have to put up with interoffice memo's composed in word anymore. And thats a nice feeling now that I think about it. :-) Thanks for the flowers though. :) -- Cheers, Gene People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word 'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's stupid bounce rules.
