May you have much good fortune! On my experience, you'll need it. It might depend on the system, but I have found that KWord crashes every time you use "Save As" and KSpread won't save AT ALL. Interestingly, Knoppix - which is a pretty comprehensive stand-alone Debian Linux system - ships with Open Office, but without KOffice, even though it uses KDE as its GUI. OO just WORKS without any hassles I know of. YMMV -- Regards, Brian
