Mr. Kott, Hello from Texas. :D I have used OpenOffice since version 2.1 and like it very much, which is why I was perplexed when it would not let me download my online audio books from the library (this uses a Microsoft developed program called Overdrive). It is an audio file that reads over Windows Media Player and OpenOffice continued to ask me to "choose language" offering a dialogue box filled with some languages I did not know existed. :) When I, after several tries at closing the box, chose one, it downloaded the text file associated with the audio file and opened it in the chosen language. However, it would not let me download the audio file. I finally found that removing OpenOffice v.2.4, reloading Overdrive, associating the audio file in folders, then reloading OpenOffice was effective. I thought to let you know about this as it may be something you had not encountered previously. What a "headhitter!" :D I do not use MSOffice, though I have the professional version. I like Open Office. Thank you for listening... Sincerely, Cynthia Barnett "Your day will go in the same direction as the corners of your mouth."
