Just an update on the hosting situation...SERVAGE HAVE LOST ALL MY FILES! Not withstanding, I am signing up to a new host tommorow. This means that I will need to re-upload everything from my backups, and update all of the links from this forum. I will be using the time it takes to upload these files to post on every webhost review forum the massive incompetences they have displayed over the last four years (lost websites, slow performance, billing errors, bandwidth exhaustion, virus infestations, blacklisted email servers etc etc etc).

In the meantime, apologies for the delays while I get the server changed over. I am working on it.

Some good deals from US servers...cheaper and more reliable...
Had the same one for several years now
eg 20000GB bandwidth, 2GB storage with domain...£25 a year

I had my eye on this, with the exchange rate as it is it only works out about £30 for four years (as opposed to Servages £70 for just one year and limited bandwidth).

It will be nice not to have to struggle to raise this money every year and know I am "safe" for four years.

Yep...looks like a much better deal.
I originally tried several free servers (some don't even want ads) and didn't start paying until I fould one that behaved well .

Never had a problem paying with my humble visa electron and some even take paypal.

My partener buys all her dvds from the US as they are cheaper and half the postage....as they say...'go figure'

Beware the terms and conditions !

Unlimited hosting *

Then follow small * link at bottom and read 'restrictions'

More or less saying webpages only, no storage or else terms broken !

... into an OxygenOffice install?
I need a curriculum vitae template for college teaching.
I also need a graphical organization chart for a church - can anyone recommend a template for that, please?
The templates are primitive but functional.

Still need to figure out how to insert an arrow at the end of connecting lines in the Org Chart to indicate the flow of authority.

Is it unusual for OxygenOffice to be able to open some .docx files OK but not others?

Our son just received several files for an online course and one docx file will not open properly - there is half a page of "######" then other garbage.

e.g.
