Hello Cathy,
I work on doc files all the time using Pages, which is part of iWork09. I find
that Pages keeps almost all the formatting intact.
TextEdit will also open doc files, so it all depends on what you want to do
with them. For just reading, TextEdit is the simplest and cheapest solution
I think text edit can also open doc files. I'm not sure about that though I
jsut convert them to rtf and I'm fine.
Take care.

Hi All,
I'm new to the group and to Macs, and find that VO doesn't work at all in
doc files. Is there something I'm missing? Is there a work-around? What
do folks do in such a doc-based world?
Thanks,
Cathy K.

Just a quickie; it's also worth noting here that you can use the brick part
of the adapter with the small, two-prong assembly, to connect to power on
aircraft and such (where applicable) so you don't need to have all the extra

I have a monitor at home for it, but I'd like to take it with me when I travel,

This is correct. The other cord just gives you length and the ability to plug
the adapter into a 3 prong wall socket.
