The problem is what do I say on a web site a group of other students and I are creating: http://ipa4linguists.pbwiki.com/FrontPage And then go to the Windows or Linux page and click on the OOo link. I originally wrote that page using my Linux computer with OOo/Linux. Today I discovered the problem with Windows while working in a computer lab at the university. They have Windows XP with OOo and I was checking everything to make sure what I said on the OOo page was the same on Windows. I guess I'm going to have to edit the page to say that the code method doesn't work on OOo on Windows. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
