Tom, Well done. Debi, You don't need to *buy* this. It's free at www.openoffice.org You can download it and use it on as many computers as you like for any purpose you like - personal, education, business, whatever. You can give it to friends, relatives, colleagues etc. etc. It really is free. So is the support, via this mail list. Questions are answered by volunteers from all around the world who use OpenOffice. Oh, and *no* popup adverts or spyware or ... The problem you explained, though, is very probably solved by the link I gave you originally. -- Harold Fuchs London, England Please reply *only* to [email protected]
