For Windows, there's an excellent ( and free ) product called 'CutePDF', that creates a virtual printer with PDF output for you. Google for it. Make sure you install the latest version of Ghostscript BEFORE installing CutePDF. It's a bit of a dodgy workaround, I realise, but it works. You should also file a bug report on the OpenOffice website ( http://www.openoffice.org/issues ) so someone ( maybe ) fixes it. -- Daniel Kasak IT Developer NUS Consulting Group Level 5, 77 Pacific Highway North Sydney, NSW, Australia 2060 T: (+61) 2 9922-7676 / F: (+61) 2 9922 7989 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] website: http://www.nusconsulting.com.au --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
