I started it, my motivation to install were not dissimilar to those you've expressed. It's OK now I got through the install, which was a bit tricky; now I've done it once I'm bound to forget, consequence of the passing years. I also wanted to get a feel for whats involved in writing an OOo extension. First impressions - well its not "The Chicago Manual of Style", nor disappointingly does it appear to have any links thereto. It's a bit intrusive in that it inserts "Writers Tools" into the top level menu, would have preferred a sub menu off Tools or a tool bar, but maybe its configurable. I might post review on my blog, I'll try to remember post a link here if I do. cheers UT --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
