I've just tried this out in winXP using OOo2.3 and ctrl + backspace deletes the word preceeding the cursor, but not the space as well. The space after the word before the one being deleted remains... in my tests... It could be that this issue (I've not tried it on any previous versions) has been corrected... If your not using 2.3 maybe try upgrading and experiement. /paul -- Processing Key for cracking HD DVD's: 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 ----- Try Torpark; a small portable, open-source, built on Firefox browser that enables anonymous browsing.
