I just used the writer without any problems except the Hebrew/Unicode font did not print directly but the PDF export was fine. The slow operation, relating to view repainting I believe, effect the spreadsheet. Both in a single language (English) sheet and in a mixed, most Hebrew sheet. OK, I am not running a multicore newer system but an old Pentium-III 500mhz clunker. Never made any difference before. More than enough computer for office stuff. ========================================================== Another persistant problem (ALL 2.*.*) is crashing on RTF import of multilingual?? docs from other apps. I actually wrote the RTF export filter involved and it is far better than most (writing filters for Microsoft is chasing a moving target). The version IBM used for Lotus, even though this Lotus does not correctly support bidirectional text, imports the file without a hitch. Abiword and Kword will import the file with black text default on black background (yuk!) but otherwise correctly and I can recover (if Abi were stable enough). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
