Hi, I went and got the latest StarOffice501, called the "filter update". It loads windows docs good. I tried to use it's online functions, like email, newsgroups, and email. The internet stuff did'nt work. Has anyone gone online with StarOffice? If so, what options did you have to set? I did make an "outbox" for email, but it locked up when trying to send a test message. I set the mail opotions right. Do you use "manual or automatic" DNS settings? It's just for kicks, no real problem. -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archive at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
