Hi there It seems to me that the only way some of us could help Sarah is to volunteer to be a beta tester. This is because a lot of us, me included, do not have access to anybody's copy of Microsoft office. I had a Windows copy of Microsoft office, but I sold it when I sold my Windows laptop running under windows seven. Regards Gigi
