The "File->Send Document As PDF Attachment" options just rocks!!!!  Wow,
there is 7 minutes a day added back to other things (vs. export, open
message, attach).  It even lets you optimize the PDF for printing or
screen viewing!  Wow!  I *LOVE* those guys.

Yep, 1.1 already won over two M$-Office users.  The spreadsheet "raw"
data import/export features are also top notch (WAY better than
M$-Excel) and our QC people do a dozen import/export operations every
day.

BTW,  red-carpet users can get OO1.1 from the OOO snapshot channel.  It
coexists with OO1.0 until Ximian blesses it, so no risk, no fuss, you
can use both at the same time if your gun shy.
