A while ago I posted a question asking if it were possible for Open Office to work with Red Hat 8 and an old VGA monitor, because there is a problem that the fonts are far too big, e.g. "file" takes up 3/4's of the screen. The response was basically "no" nothing practical could be done about the problem. However, that does not appear to be the complete story for two reasons. Firstly, I have seen a posting saying that it is a Red Hat 8 bug to do with the initial specification of the screen size. The message indicated that if the screen size was specified in mm's then there was no prob., but if inches were used then there was a problem. Red Hat have supposedly posted a fix, but I have not been able to find it. Can anyone tell me where to find the fix or how to specify the screen size on an installed system please? The second reason that Open Office must work with my configuration is that it does for one of the users. This user has been the most uncontrolled and cavalier in his use of the Internet and downloads. Initially, I thought it was due to the fact that he had Macro Media Flash and the others didn't. However, this proved to be not true. Can anyone suggest where I should look to find the difference that makes Open Office work for this one user, please? Thanks in anticipation Roger
