[Charlug] need help with wording....

[Doug Pyatt]

The last docment we got pulled into openoffice had two empty text boxes - could not see the text at all.  With Wordpad - we were able to read the words (and MS Word 2000) but the formating was shoved left instead of being centered in the page (we had them fax it to us).

Thanks
Doug

ran into were ADVANCED MACROS.... what problems are you 
having?
