Thanks John & sorry for the delayed reply... the local telco seems to think that my local phone/dsl line is a test circuit & I just got my connection back. Thanks for posting back with a better attitude :-) I recommend that you start a new thread with something along the lines of "help with cut & paste from html" and I'm pretty sure that you'll find some helpful suggestions from other folks here. I too have issue with cut & paste from web sites, and even have a few bug reports open regarding this issue - so it's not just you. But perhaps it may be the way that you are doing it, so a new thread on that subject would be better. That way this original thread "How did I get this OpenOffice program?" doesn't get too far off track. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
