  5. Re:Support Needed. on ISO Approves OOXML · · Score: 1

    Maybe they wrote the article in "OOXML Text", converted it to "OOXML Sheet" and finally converting it to "OOXML Presentation" before exporting it to HTML.

    See http://www.robweir.com/blog/2008/03/disharmony-of-ooxml.html.

    You have an old postscript printer (Centronix interface only) and an old P2-450 box and you want to configure this as a networked printer, would you install the P2-450:
    1. Windows 98?
    2. Windows XP?
