I know. But they owned it for years and did nothing about it. It has 1001 features no one ever uses, that's a fact :-) I haven't seen ms office 11 or even Xp yet, but comparing the footprints of eg koffice with the corresponding parts of MS office, I think koffice roughly takes about one and a half times the memory that ms office takes. Overall I find the speed of ms office pretty good. I wo't comment any further about MS office though :-) -- Frank Van Damme | "Saying 8MB of RAM doesn't do as much anymore is http://www. | like saying a gallon of water holds more than it openstandaarden.be | did in 1988." --George Adkins
