The newer OpenOffice 3.2 *is* Mac. It's fully native OS X - no more X11 and it's far much faster and more friednly than NeoOffice. Alone the more than 120 different dictionaries which you can manually download and not like NeoOffice where you need to add the dicts from within NeoOffice.

E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my very hungry SPAM filter. Due to Google's refusal to prevent spammers from posting messages through their servers, I often ignore posts from Google Groups. Use a real news client if you want me to see your posts. JR

I can't even find the word "sound" on the page. Are we talking about the same page (http://www.bean-osx.com/Bean.html)? I looked through the preferences, and didn't see it there either. Though admittedly, I sometimes have a hard time finding my way around prefs dialogs. In any case, this feature, if it exists, is not turned on by default. -- * Harald Hanche-Olsen <URL:http://www.math.ntnu.no/~hanche/> - It is undesirable to believe a proposition when there is no ground whatsoever for supposing it is true. -- Bertrand Russell

My vague memory is that there may be one or two cases where you do something nonstandard, and it makes a click or some other sound -- but nothing that's going to be annoying or disruptive.

I don't know whether it once way back has been possible, but at least not since the ver. 0,8.1, which was my first version of Bean, and in the current version 2.4.3 of this excellent textprocessor, made by James Hoover, there are no possibilities of using any kind of sound effects. And to be quite sure - even if I know this app right down into the code groups - I've just opened the application code and checked all prefs settings - no sound, no sign of a sound anywhere. But if you want sound effects in a textprocessor, there is the OK-Writer 1.3, which is meant for children of age 5-9.:-) - But sounds can be disabled, "...if parents are annoyed...".:-)) - Nice and fun little app infact... http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/23491 Cheers, Erik Richard -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Erik Richard Sørensen, Member of ADC, <mac-manNOSP(a)Mstofanet.dk> NisusWriter - The Future In Multilingual Text Processing - www.nisus.com OpenOffice.org - The Modern Productivity Solution - www.openoffice.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
