Thanks Dan, that saves me installing Ubuntu just to test it out. As an aside to this, I got irritated after installing OpenSUSE 10.3 when I found control+click opened Konqueror instead of my default browser, Firefox. I was surprised to find that right-click + open-hyperlink opened Firefox. Now, that oddity has gone and I'm stuck with Konqueror whichever route I try. Of course, if I open the same document with Kword and click on the link, Firefox opens. Weird! Cheers. -- Graham P Davis, Bracknell, Berks., UK. E-mail: newsman, not newsboy. "What use is happiness?
