On Red Hat 5.0, I could run 3 or 4 instances of OOo, each under a different user ID. This probably was because I logged in at the command line, rather than the GUI. Every screen required a login. [I've forgotten what version of OOo I used back then.] If current Linux distros will boot to a command line, that solution might work for you. Just remember which user ID has which OOo configuration. Otherwise you'll have to log in and out of the Graphical Interface. Something else that _might_ work, would be to create a profile that matches what you want, then copy ~/.openoffice.org2 to a different location. Then change the profile to your second choice, a copy it to a location, and then create a third one. Then write shell scripts that deletes teh existing contents of ~/openoffice.org2, and copies either the first, second, or third option over ~/.openoffice.org2/. Include a call to start OOo in teh script. [In theory, this will also work for WinXP. You might need to download UnxUtils, for command-line tools that work correctly.] xan jonathon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
