Trying to find out why I'd missed it first time, I realised that OOo help works differently from MS Office help, at least on my Windows PC. In MS Office, clicking on a help topic opens it - like an HTML link. In OOo, I have to double click, like opening a file (my machine is set to open files with a double click, the Win XP default). So I sometimes didn't realise that the right hand pane was showing a different help topic from the one that was highlighted in the left hand pane. I have not come across this behaviour before in a GUI. The reference table is where you said. But I still think that it would be better one level up, so that it could be accessed directly from the left hand pane. That table is the most fundamental thing in the editor because without it you can't do anything useful. -- Tony I don't answer emails - reply to the list or newsgroup --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
