Actually, I take that back.  I've just installed 2.0.3 and it handles 
diagrams pretty well ... much better than the last version I tried.  The 
pdf export supports metadata and searches :-)

But, since this is a crossover office list ;-) , is there a way to 
achieve the same thing from within wine/crossover/word ?

Cheers,

Pete
