A couple questions:
1)the additional features include VBA support and also I think fonts/font support of some kind --- is that correct? I've heard people say that things like screen fonts, icons, and just general fit and finish have been improved in the "novell OO" ...
Not sure about this one - to be honest I haven't used a non-Novell built version of OO.o for ages... sorry.
2)does Novell (or OOo) maintain a windows release with the added VBA and fonts support? If so -- where is it?
I would love to get a few smaller companies off of the MS Office bandwagon, as part of a stealth campaign to move them away from windows all-together. If there are real advantages to the "novell" version ... then I will seek it out.
Novell do have a Novell built version of OO.o available, however, it looks like the latest release was 2.0.4. I think this may be updated round about the SLE 10 SP1/OES 2 release though. I can't find a Novell built 2.1 for Windows I'm afraid. Jon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
