[OT] Re: Windows ole word automatism

[Gregor Kopp]

Thank you all for the tipps ;)

I'll take a look at JUNO, when dsource is online again. Tried the last 
days to reach that site. But I think it will be back again soon.

Hehe, youre not the only Gregor *g*
But nevermind, I know lot's of people which don't draw distinctions 
between Georg and Gregor and THAT is annoying for me. But only a little 
bit ;)

Sorry my english, it isn't my natural language and thank you for your 
friendly acceptance.
