JUST A NOTE HERE: I had open office for about 6 months and it saved
the documents you did to open office not MSword of course. So it was
not as convenient as word as so I deleted it yesterday and now when I go
to open a document it can not be read by word and I will now have to
reinstall and go in and make a point to re-save all of them to WORD. I
have Office 2002 suite and love it. I was just trying to get away from
Microsoft products - have Firefox browser, Thunderbird for email, all by

I'm not sure what MSAccess is. I don't see it on my list of "All

If you do not have MS Access a very good alternative can be downloaded
for FREE from Openoffice. Download OpenOffice 2 Beta from
http://www.openoffice.org/ I have found it just about as good if not
better than MS Office 2003 and you are able to open MS documents.
However do not be tempted to download the 1.1 version as that does
have a compatability issue with MS Access 2003 formats, but no problem
with the Beta 2 version and it works just fine. The current release
is a public beta release so most of the bugs have been sorted. The
component you need is BASE, but you download the whole suite and you
have the equivilent of Office 2003 pro.
