Oops... I assumed this thread was taking place on the questions mailing list and that you were a newbie... must look like I'm trolling, that was not my intention. anyways... Yes I'd have to agree with you about OOo's calc vs. Kspread, pasting data into Kspread is weird too. I can't comment on MS office compat because everything internal to us is in ODF format, when I have to work with outside people I send them a PDF, if they don't need to edit, or a ODF doc and a copy of OOo on CD-R... When it's released, that new ODF plug-in for MS office will be great. -- BSD Podcasts @: http://bsdtalk.blogspot.com/ http://freebsdforall.blogspot.com/
