I agree coverting from office 97 to XP is much harder especialy when it comes to hebrew. actualy that is the reason why a lot of people do use RTF when they don't know the version of windows the person they are sending it to would have. anyhow I would like to remind the EU is working on enchant OO file format that would become the official file format for documetation and passing info between goverment and citizans. The guys who work on it seems to be very nice, maybe it can be used in israel as well.
