Hi, You're wellcome. For what it is worth, tired of fumbling endlessly with the 03 viewers from Microsoft, I just installed the MS-Office 97 viewers for excel, powerpoint and word on my wine computer. Did not take one minute for each install. And I have yet to find a .doc, .xls or .ppt that they cannot display in "the correct Microsoft Way" ;-) This, in combination with OOorg 2.3 offers the possibility to do anything office related in Linux, at least for me. ;-) regards Eberhard -- ubuntu-users mailing list ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com <a target="_blank" href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </div></div> Hi, Actually I have the MS Word docs that have a template and header and footer. It also has an index. I don't have any problem reading through the doc. The problem arrises when I have to write to the doc. The index has links to the exact page. those links are damaged. I can't change the text in the header and footer. Saurabh. </div></div></body></html>
