I am sure that it must simply be a style/template setting of some sort. As a test I created a sentence in MS Word (95) using WordArt "Your Text Here" and selected the vertical line template so that it appears as the yellow duck above. I then saved that document and opened in OOo 2.0.4. The frame appears exactly as it did in the MSW document, I can even edit it and insert additional words, etc. I don't have the time right now to look into this further, perhaps one of you with MS Word could also try the same? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
