So this is basically a test!
Please forgive the intrusion. FWIW, I have really gotten a lot out of
the discussion regarding OOo 2.3, X11, and Mac OS X 10.5, since that
is my main headache, and a minor one at that.
As for all of the good folks who seem to be wrestling with OOo under
Windows, I must put a plug in for having a Linux partition or virtual
machine at times like this. I use OOo 2.3 under Ubuntu and find it
works beautifully. The OpenOffice files created under Ubuntu open
flawlessly in OO in Windows, and the MS Office doc, ppt, and xls files
seem just fine too. The intrinsic Export to PDF is I think an
amazingly convenient thing I recommend it for file sharing where the
recipients don't need to edit the file. Heck, every Windows user has
Acrobat these days, and in Linux and Mac open PDFs usually doesn't
require anything extra.
Thanks for your forbearance.

I don't have disk space to add a Linux partition and I have too much
Windows only hardware - PDA, mobile phone, digital camera, scanner,
printer etc. to switch entirely to Linux. I grant that there may be
Linux compatible software for each of those but researching it all is
too much like hard work. And what do you do when you've switched to
Linux and you find your machine won't talk to your router? ***Please***
don't say "Google for relevant software".
