I have been able to the standard word, excel, powerpoint creations and was able to edit some more complex versions I had around that SO6 was giving me problems. I would suggest trying to install yourself and let us know if this works in your case. > Thanks for reporting your success.

I was getting concerned about the near end to my SO6 beta in June and needed a replacement asap. I would much rather run a native version of OO but we'll have to wait on that a little longer. Hope it works as well for you as it did for me. Later Chris To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
