And lets squash some bugs in OpenOffice in our spare time, eh? Well, I use OpenOffice as well. I click on the icon to start it up, then go and make a cup of tea and feed the cat, and sometimes when I come back it's nearly finished loading. ;-) I'm sorry, but I cannot help feeling that OO doesn't just need a few bugs squashing; it needs redesigning and rewriting (in Ada?). I thought StarOffice was great, but as soon as Sun have something to do with a piece of software, you just know it's going to go the way of the Dodo. I use OpenOffice only when nothing else will do. -- Nick Roberts
