You should transfer all old formats to a newer format. The native format of OpenOffice is a good format for long term use; should you wish to share files for editing with users using other software, you can then save out to MS Office 97/200/XP format if necessary. If you only wish to share files on a read-only basis, send them .pdf files. -- Rory O'Farrell <ofarr...@iol.ie> ------------------------------------------- List Conduct Guidelines: http://openoffice.apache.org/list-conduct.html To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
