I might have to give it a try - for the last few months I have been unable
to read the dealer pricelists available from DMA (in excel format) with
StarOffice 5.1 whereas I'd never had a problem with them earlier (no idea
what they changed) - I wasn't aware there was a "next" version available
(I checked Sun's site)
