[NTLUG:Discuss] Open Office Formulas -- not showing on screen

[Peter A. Koren]

Ok, I found the problem. I saved my document with the graphics on/off
toggle set to off. Now it works.

I also got the drawing to work for doing circuit diagrams. I found a
site that had circuit components for OO. I am making up an exam for the
high school physics classes that I teach. OO is for me so much more
intuitive than Word. No paper clip follies and I can easily stop OO from
interfering with the way I want things done. Word drives me nuts.

BTW, I just love the export to pdf in OO. That is what I email to my
school address and use to print my documents without hassle.

Sorry for the disjointed ranting of a word processing amateur.
