But it's still obscure enough to trip novices up, which is helpful neither to the novice nor to the future of OOo. I used to wonder what the warning meant when I first did this; fortunately I found out the "easy" way :-) I wonder if csv creation should be under 'export' rather than 'save as', along with pdf creation. The properties of an ods and a csv file are sufficiently different perhaps to merit this. -- various incoming sites blocked because of spam; see http://www.scottsonline.org.uk for a list and openpgp crypto key (key fingerprint 2ACC 9F21 5103 F68C 7C32 9EA8 C949 81E1 31C9 1364) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mike Scott, Harlow, Essex, England --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
