If you are more specific, there are groups that can help you with that in an instant. Try alt.os.linux or debian.user (as Xubuntu is a Debian fork, way back). > James Freer asked about this first, I think his > situation is similar to mine.

However, if you are stuck at work with Words all day long it might not be an option right now, but it is not difficult, trust me - and especially if you set up templates (or skeletons) as has been suggested by me and others. I'm not telling you what to do, I'm only saying it is not difficult. -- underground experts united: http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
