---------------------------------------------------------------------Shortcut Keys
---------------------------------------------------------------------Only shortcut keys (key combinations) not used by the operating system can be us
ed in OpenOffice.org. If a key combination in OpenOffice.org does not work as de
scribed in the OpenOffice.org Help, check if that shortcut is already used by th
e operating system. To rectify such conflicts, you can change the keys assigned
by your operating system. Alternatively, you can change almost any key assignmen
t in OpenOffice.org. For more information on this topic, refer to the OpenOffice
.org Help or the Help documention of your operating system.
---------------------------------------------------------------------Problems When Sending Documents as E-mails From OpenOffice.org
---------------------------------------------------------------------When sending a document via 'File - Send - Document as E-mail' or 'Document as P
DF Attachment' problems might occur (program crashes or hangs). This is due to t
he Windows system file "Mapi" (Messaging Application Programming Interface) whic
h causes problems in some file versions. Unfortunately, the problem cannot be na
rrowed down to a certain version number. For more information visit http://www.m
icrosoft.com to search the Microsoft Knowledge Base for "mapi dll".
