[Leaplist] microsoft / novell -- Can I get a STFU?

[William Warren]

actually I don't have any clients that embed other office apps inside 
other office apps.  The only hangup is access on my clients.  Once i can 
  get access compatibility then ms office is gone..:)

I'm sure there's a ton of businesses that do that horrid embedding 
thing.  That's a major security issue as well as one way MS gets you 
locked in..:)

Actually my invoices were originally made inside Excel97 before i knew 
about OO.  Now that same document has been ported to OO in Office mode 
and the macros run just fine.  I even get the same warnings about it as 
i did in excel.  Now i jsut export that to pdf inside OO and send the 
pdf to my clients..:)

My "Foundation" verse:
Isa 54:17  No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and 
every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt 
condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their 
righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.
