I do hear what you and Kev are saying, but what if you are somewhere where you cannot download OOo for some reason (not allowed, dialup, etc.)
I am thinking of a quick down and dirty solution that could be easily run from a USB key from within a windows environment. Or a smaller download that is easier for someone to install. Essentially a miniature office suite. > I agree with Kevin. The only reason Microsoft offers readers is > encourage use > of their file formats when transfering files.

Doesn't your statement kind of answer the question? If readers was available for OOo perhaps the file formats might become more widely accepted. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
