BTW, I sent them a mail, a year ago, complimenting them for creating a nice website: (1) it actually contains real useful information (2) it's a no nonsense website. Sounds obvious, but I think it takes courage to build a website without animating crap.. (didn't get a reply either :-) As for the .xls files, I'm not sure that the file format has the same status as .doc? Maybe it *is* well documented? I don't know. Here's my experience with the file: I downloaded (english) schedules_eng.zip. (1) the file has a hebrew name.. (2) soffice wastes a few minutes (!) playing with the cpu, but then displays the file. the fonts are huge for some reasone. (3) gnumeric prints out some warnings and even an error, but then it also displays the file. look better that soffice. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
