Re: A couple of OpenOffice questions

Hi again.

In the spoke-too-soon department, it seems that OOo is *acting* like
it's saving, but it's not really.  Yikes!!  Sorry about that, folks.

Krister:  Definitely get OOo from openoffice.org.  That is what I'm
using on the machines where I do any actual work, and it is reliable.

Take care.
