Hi Peter:

Nice of you to even come back to the mailist to help out. As this is a 
community we all share in helping out with making the distro better.

We would need an example of an incompatible file for us to see and 
examine. Could you provide us with an example?

Thanks for the note on search and replace. I imagine that documentation 
team members would have run into this problem. Maybe someone could chime 
in on this one? If not, could you, Pete, please check to see if the 
latest LibO Beta2 still has this problem. If so, maybe we could have a 
dev look into it for a fix or at least move it up a bit on their list of 
bugs for repairs.

Thanks for your input. We welcome any criticism or bug contributions.

Marc
