Thats possible? Ahh, didn't know you could do that in OOo. :-) I've been asked a couple of times when fixing PCs for work colleagues and friends if I could install Windows XP (they seem to be a bit more clued up on XP), but I always refuse unless they can give me a legal license key, or if they'll give me £58 so I can get a new OEM licence for them. After I say that they're usually happy to give Ubuntu a go at least. Rob -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
