My first attempt at that :-) I have a CD-R now with msttcorefonts-.3-4.noarch.rpm (3.5 MB) on it. The bad news is that I still see the .docx file displayed very badly, by OO 3.1. You were almost dead on with the process. How do you remember so many things? cabextract comes from rpmforge. I reloaded xfs as it said on that web page and I even restarted the box, but I am still getting the bad display of the .docx file when I load it into OO 3.1. Lanny
