Ahh I see. I did find a ppa repository for Hardy which had OpenOffice 3 packages in. I added it to the sources.list but it was ignored when I ran an apt-get update! Looks like I'll have to either stick with 2.4 or manually install the packages. Rob -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
