Thanks for the info. Regarding PageMaker... looks like it's going the way of the dinosaur anyway; Adobe has this to say about it: <quote> Adobe PageMaker has enjoyed a long and venerable product life. When it was first released 20 years ago, in 1985, it transformed the way designers work. Since then, it has introduced many innovative design and layout features, and served millions of design customers worldwide. However, it was first created when coding standards were quite different and its role as a leading publishing tool has now passed to Adobe InDesign CS2, which offers a more extensive design toolset and a modern codebase that can adapt easily and swiftly to the needs of today’s designers. That’s why Adobe no longer plans to develop and release any feature-based versions of Adobe PageMaker, nor do we plan to offer a version of PageMaker with native support for Mac OS X. While we continue to sell PageMaker 7.0 and to offer technical support and customer service for it, we encourage you to switch to Adobe InDesign CS2. </quote> That said, it would be nice to see OOo to eventually release a similar DTP addition like an MS Publisher/Adobe PageMaker sometime down the line. Are you aware of any such OOo projects? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
