Is this the NOVELL-Fork of OOo or the release of the OOo project ? I read somewhere NOVELL forked sometime ago to put in features that won't get in the regular OOo build, like better file-filters for MS-Office. Therefore the NOVELL thingy was not based on the most modern release.

Yea, I remember reading about it as well. I thought that would be a good reason to stick with the Novell 'thingy'. Or ... is/will it be such an improvement?
How about installing both versions in parallel to test? Someone done that yet?
I've downloaded and installed from here on openSUSE 10.2 and it's listed as 2.1 built by Novell. As far as I'm aware the Novell additions to the 2.1 version, for SLED 10 SP1, were also in the RPMs on the site I listed for SUSE 10.1/openSUSE 10.2). Mainly this is VBA macro support and has passed back to openoffice.org for inclusion in the main releases. I'm not certain but I think these contributions were scheduled for the official openoffice.org 2.1 release. And if that's not confusing enough, you can also download the openoffice.org translators for MS Office OpenXML document types here: http://download.novell.com/index.jsp?product_id=&search=Search&build_type=SDBuildBean&families=3402&version=&date_range=&keywords=&x=22&y=8 Hope this helps, Jon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
