(poster contest to fight against hunting for fur) thanks for the answer! Jacinthe B., Montreal OOo has nothing to do with copyrighting anything. Absolutely, however if the printscreen includes another authors work, you will need permission to publish their work. However, you as the creator of this printscreen could copyright it if you so choose to do so. In the US you don't have to do anything to copyright your original work it is automatic. OOo is only the means of creating the document. If you had used any other word processing program, the outcome would be the same. The copyright belongs to the creator and not to what was used to create it. -- Robert Steinmetz, AIA Principal Steinmetz & Associates
