And, unlike MSOffice, Master Document in OOo doesn't seem to have ANY of the data-loss or -trashing problems MSO has. The approach by OOo was done properly. I've found it invaluable. IMO it's not complex but requires a slightly different attitude toward using it. And nothing to do with Master Document mode: The only big "problem" I've personally found with OOo is it seems to have issues with single file sizes greater than about ten Meg in size IFF the file contains graphics, especially in tables. It's a recognized issue and is under investigation. The workaround is to split large files into smaller ones under ten Meg in size. An annoyance, but workable. -- -- Perfection isn't achievable, but it's sure a worthy pursuit. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
