Anybody else experience this? Well, as I say it's probably something in my setup. I know when my customers come up with weird complaints like this it almost always turns out to be something misconfigured at their end :-) X & KDE are overdue for an upgrade, which may well make this go away, and in any case there's a workaround, so it's no big deal. One other thing - am I right in thinking that TextMaker's Word import doesn't handle Word 'drawings' (the vector-graphics diagrams you can draw within Word, or paste in from PowerPoint)? They just come up as grey placeholder boxes in the documents I opened, although all the bitmap images were just fine. A bit of a bummer if these don't work, as just about every document I deal with at work seems to include one or more of them :-( Cheers, Scott -- =========================================================================== Scott Mitchell | PGP Key ID | "Eagles may soar, but weasels Cambridge, England | 0x54B171B9 | don't get sucked into jet engines" scott at fishballoon.org | 0xAA775B8B | -- Anon
