Another reason to "love" MS Office, is the PST files used in Outlook. They have a tendency to corrupt when they get too large, losing all the mail they contained. Even the recovery tool is of questionable utility. A while ago, I was providing Windows support to a very large company. Crashed PST files were a frequent complaint. -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
