Thanks for those links Mathias. However it seems to me that a lot of SUN development work is going into assisting *MS Office users* in reading ODF rather than OOo/StarOffice users being able to read and write MS Office 2007 documents. I'm sure that I'm wrong... perhaps you could point to some links where the develpment is going the other direction? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
