I occasionally get a request from someone to install a "borrowed" copy of MS Office. I tell them I will only install a copy they actually bought. Once they check the prices, it's usually easier to get them to try OpenOffice. On one occasion, when I was doing some support work at IBM, one person asked me how to copy the files off their work computer, so they could install MS Office at home!!! -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
