Hi Mo,
I have just installed the new OpenOffice and when I went to print a test
document using print off the menu there was no list of printers and it did
not try to print to my default printer but to OneNote!
I wonder if anyone else has printer problem like this.
Regards
Aedan.

i've just tried this and its fantastic considering how it worked last time!
all the menus read fine its like an updated version of office 2003! the only
minor drawback is that with jaws, the sells don't read as you arrow through
them in the spreadsheet app. you have to press the number 5 key on your
numeric keypad to find out which sell you're on and then it reads fine.
still, a vast improvement. i hardly deal with spreadsheets these days so not
a major issue for me.
Mo.
