I'm probably missing something obvious here, but what changed? Is
there a new OO installer available? I seem to recall something about
weekly builds from the Codeweavers list, but I'm not keeping up with

Can you edit equations in Word? Graphics?
Thanks for reporting your success. I _really_ need something like
this to work--Word and PowerPoint are taking over around here, and my

Michael
