I played with the scan->PDF yesterday. A client scans lots of documents and 
some of their new or potential customers don't know what to do with the TIF 
files they are sent :) OpenOffice.org Writer: Insert->Graphics->Scan->PDF 
just works wonderfully. It's just great to be able to introduce open-source 
software to MS Windows users.

Thanks Leon, I'll ensure that your well felt greetings are passed onto the 
OpenOffice.org community :)

I would like to encourage all of you to download RC3 and give it a go. We 
would like this RC to be final, and the final 1.1 to be the best we can. 
You can help by giving it a good thrashing over the next couple of weeks 
and bouncing any anomalies to the users at openoffice.org list, or submitting 
them to IssueZilla if you have registered/joined.

Many people that are beginning to use OpenOffice.org have not downloaded 
and installed software before, and the RC (release candidates) are 
confusing to some. Assist us to make RC3 final, soonest.

All the best
