Warning: *do not* try to simply add the odfconverter-1.0.0-2.oxt on a linux version of OOo. It screws up the extension manager. Tried on OOo 2.1 and now the extension manager just spins it's wheels and I have to 'force close' the application. Not a problem on my part as I'll simply just clean .openoffice.org2, but heads up all. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
