Also, OpenOffice is *free*. We are very pleased that you chose to donate but the product *is* free to download and to use on as many computers as you like in as many different contexts as you like - personal, business, education etc. etc. You are also free to give it to others to use under the same conditions. Support is also free via this mail list run by users of OpenOffice who donate time to help other users. There are other free support groups, blogs & forums on the internet. Documentation is also free via the web site <www.openoffice.org> although there are specialist books for sale should you need them. -- Harold Fuchs London, England Please reply *only* to [email protected]
