First of all, you don't bother to say which Operating System you are using - Windows - which version? UNIX - which version? MAC - which version? Linux - which version? Second you don't bother to say which version of OOo you are using. I am surprised that I find myself answering such a rude and unhelpful e-mail. Under the Insert>Picture>From File menu, OOo 2.0.4 (the latest version) and 2.0.3 (the previous version) on Win XP Pro/SP2 offers a standard Windows explorer type file browser. At the top, labelled "Look in:", is a drop down list that lets you navigate all your drives and folders. To the right of this are buttons that let you (a) go up a level, (b) create a new folder and (c) specify how you want the display to look - thumbnails, details etc. as per usual in Windows. At the bottom of the browser window, among other things, is a drop down list that lets you select what sort of files you want displayed; try "all formats". So, not only are you rude and unhelpful but you are also wrong. Some rudeness and unhelpfulness is possibly tolerable if you were making a valid point. In your case it's totally intolerable. I suggest that you go and pay the USD 500 or whatever it costs to buy MS Office, and another USD 500 every couple of years or so for new versions. That way you are at least partially compensating the people to whom you are being rude and unhelpful. Harold Fuchs London, England Please note that these are my personal views.
