I just tried this under ubuntu 8.04 live which uses Open Office 2.4.0 and the 'Insert/Movie and Sound' exhibits exactly the behavior described above. 'Insert/Object/Sound' is whited out. What package(s) need to be installed to unwhite this option out? Does anyone know of a distro where 'Insert/Object/Sound' works? thank you. -- Paul Elliott 1(512)837-1096 [EMAIL PROTECTED] PMB 181, 11900 Metric Blvd Suite J http://www.io.com/~pelliott/pme/ Austin TX 78758-3117 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
