It is bizarre. They ran their desktops with both Microsoft Office 2000 and OpenOffice.org 3.2.1. Their old version of Microsoft Office fails to work well with recent Microsoft Office documents. So instead of blaming Microsoft, the vendor that they paid for Office 2000, for their non-backwards compatible file format changes, they blame OpenOffice.org, an open source product that they never paid a cent for. -Rob > -- > Cheers, > > Ian C
