I have used it for while and it did a very passable job with word files but not so well with power point compatibility.

I still use v1.1.1 because I like the way it handles pasted images from the browser.  I may never upgrade just because of that.

Thanks for the news though.

I just came across this program a couple days ago, while looking for a cheap Word. I like it (especially the price).

But...there is something I cannot figure out how to do. Lets see if I can explain it to where you guys would understand.

In Word, if you number, but don't want to indent your numbers, you can. But how do I do this in OpenOffice?

I want the numbers to look like this:

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Not like this:

(hmm....the numbers did not indent....they are supposed to be 3 spaces to the right)

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.


Anyone know how to do this? I know in Word, when it indents the numbers, all I have to do is backspace to the text, and the number goes to the far left. But when I do that in OpenOffice, the number simply disappears. Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks
