Thanks Bob (and Harold) I'll take a close look at the plug in. We still use Outlook at work for Appointment and Resource scheduling, as well as Tasks. I know I can replace each part with something good (or better) but nobody wants to adopt three of four applications to replace one.
As I also have to look after the servers - neither do I! Still think OO is great, and look forward to being able to ditch MS Publisher too!

Plus, it allows me to interconnect the address book in Thunderbird with OO.o so that I can insert addresses in documents. I am also using the Thunderbird address book as my system address book instead of the Windows address book. I placed an icon for it in the quick launch area of the task bar, and this works great. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
