The problem is Microsoft they aren't making some API functions available for competing products. Excel is built to use API functions that are not available to OpenOffice.org and won't be unless someone connected with OpenOffice.org programming can figure out how to make it work. This is one of the hidden things that Microsoft does not want competing software programmers to have. Even if the competing software is commercial and has to be purchased. -- http://24.197.142.167/~jack/openofficefaq.php Read the OpenOffice.org FAQ Microsoft users go to http://www.pclinuxos.com for a great user friendly Linux experience! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
