It is feasible to do so. You must have Samba running on the Server and connect each client to a share (or the same share) (e.g. drive t: for text). Any client can store the documents on that drive, selecting it during the "save at" dialog. You can open in OpenOffice Extras -> Options -> Paths -> Working Directory, select "Edit" and change it to the servers directory. So it becomes your default. Additionally you can install OO in a manner that the program files are stored onto the server and are loaded over the network. Only some personal files (e.g. preferences) are stored on each clients machine. You have first to install OO onto the server directory using the /net option. In a second step you invoke the setup program on each clients, which will install the personal files. The process is described in detail in the installation handbook. -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
