Unfortunatly to be able to convert them to PS properly implies that you can open them already. The only reliable way I have found to do that is to convert them on a Windows machine to PS and then send them out. OO usually works but does foul up some complicated documents. Then again, I get Windows word documents that I cannot open properly on my Word for Mac, so MS isn't even compatable with themselves. Move to Massachusetts and insist on ODF documents :-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
