However on this particular issue don't expect lightning reaction. Reason being that this is a _feature_ in OOo of something that is a _bug_ in PowerPoint. There is nothing worse in Powerpoint than having to wait till a sound file finishes before you can change slides. PITA! In Impress, if I want a sound file to run over several slides then I simply change the "slides" to transitions on a single slide. It simply means that all the slides have to share a background. However, as Huck points out, voting does affect the way developers look at individual issues. Proof of this is in one particular issue that became a pet of mine: Getting stylist to remember which type of styles you had selected when you last edited a document. (<a href="http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4854">http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4854 </a>) I asked people on OOoforum to vote and that enhancement will now be in 2.3 Oh and as an aside, if you didn't know already, OpenOffice.org 2.2 was released yesterday. version count went: 2.0 2.0.1 2.0.2 2.0.3 2.0.4 2.1 2.2 So how old is your version :) Cheers GL -- "GET LEGAL - GET <a href="http://OPENOFFICE.ORG">OPENOFFICE.ORG</a>" <a href="http://why.openoffice.org"> http://why.openoffice.org</a> ISO 26300 compliant Graham Lauder, OpenOffice.org MarCon (Marketing Contact) NZ <a href="http://marketing.openoffice.org/contacts.html">http://marketing.openoffice.org/contacts.html </a> INGOTs Assessor Trainer (International Grades in Office Technologies) <a href="http://www.theingots.org.nz">www.theingots.org.nz</a> _______________________________________________ K12OSN mailing list <a href="mailto:K12OSN@redhat.com">K12OSN@redhat.com</a> <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn</a> For more info see <<a href="http://www.k12os.org"> http://www.k12os.org</a>> </blockquote></div> -- Shawn Maggard Maggard Computing <a href="http://maggardcomputing.com">http://maggardcomputing.com</a> 931-629-6258
