Debi, I forgot. If you have paid for it and have problems not solvable by the link I gave you then you'll have to complain to the vendor; we don't support the vendor's product - we don't know what s/he has done to it. Alternatively, if you want to consider your payment a loss (or get it back from the vendor) and try the free version from www.openoffice.org then, of course, we'll support that. -- Harold Fuchs London, England Please reply *only* to [email protected]
