If the help agent isn't doing the job for you, and you can't find the answers in MasterC's links, fire away here!
I've had Star Office installed at my office for 1.5 years now, so I know many of it's quirks (especially going from M$ Office to SO and back again) as do hundreds of other people viewing this forum.
You've stumbled upon a great resource....
btw, I looked up Assimilated in the StarOffice Help Agent, and didn't come up with anything...sorry
