Don't you get a green downward pointing arrow in the top right hand corner of an OOo window when there is a new version available for download?
I'd seen such a thing in the screen grabs in the LXF OOo special and wondered what it did, when I saw the same thing on my Vista install of OOo I clicked on it and found out that it was notifying me of a newer version being available.

We probably didn't tick the option to be notified of automatic updates at the time we installed 2.0.

We've now downloaded and installed version 2.3 (good job our broadband is working today!) and have opted to be informed about updates, but I still can't find the relevant setting and I've just come across these statements in an online shootout between PowerPoint 2007 and Impress 2.3:

"However, Impress continues to lag because of its inability to control the playing of sound across a series of slides, or to record a narration directly from the program.. "

"Impress is advancing neither as far nor as fast as might be expected. Most significantly, despite some improvements, it continues to lag behind in its use of sound."

So it rather looks as if we will not be able to do what we want to do.

Have you noticed how once again I have neatly gone OT? What begins as derisory comments about how hard it is to get MS software out of its box suddenly turns into a comparison between MS Office and OOo. However, this time you started it with cygwin. Wink
