For those that have calendars with ics capabilities (Evolution, Lightning(?) etc), it's easy to import public calendars. For example; http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/ical/library/ Those calendars work just fine in Evolution (linux & windows) & should work just as well with any other calendar program that can use standard ics. There are many ics calendars out there that can be used. Publishing calendars with Evolution is easy as well. I can publish mine to my Yahoo calendar which gives me access to it remotely. Now to get back to OOo... does anyone know an easy way to export and sync these calendars & appointments into and out of OOo? Perhaps there is a solution to sync these other calendar/appointments to OOo easily? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
