That is a bug then. LibreOffice should be able to use the Thunderbird address book and it can't in Ubuntu (apparently) so that is a bug. Report it rather than complaining about it. Nothing will change unless it is reported. > If you uninstall the Canonical-supplied Office and install direct from the > OO website then TBird addressbook can be used as an address data source. > Why Canonical have to fiddle with it I don't know.... Well it is a bug in the Canonical fiddling in that case so report it. Colin -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
