Print to a file in StarOffice and then run ps2pdf on it. Alternatively, you could use LyX to write reports and such. LyX is in my mind a much better and more modern approach to document creation than wordprocessors are. Current versions of LyX will automatically generate a PDF from any document created therein. Hope this helps. -Peter -- #################################### Peter Schmiedeskamp The Maureen and Mike Mansfield Center *nix administrator #################################### To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
