This was pretty much true about a year ago. However, after version 2.3, which adds the kerning feature, OpenOffice.org can produce very professionally looking documents. All of the OOo User Guides, which are every bit as complex as if not more so than our own user guides, are now "self-generated". Solveig Haugland, a highly respected OpenOffice.org consultant, published her book "OpenOffice.org 2 Guidebook" (a 527-page book complete with drawings, table of contents, multi-column index, etc.) entirely on OOo. Another key consideration, in addition to perhaps a desire to support our sister product, is that the documents so generated are guaranteed to be displayable on the OS they are intended to serve. This is a pretty important consideration IMO. :-) This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
