Thanks Charles and Sarah. I do have Star Office 5.2 installed at home (from the PowerPack) and today, at the office, installed Star Office 6.0 Beta (downloaded from Sun). I think SOffice 6.0 is a real improvement...it read all my Windoze MS files (Word, Excel and PowerPoint) perfectly.
We're essentially a WordPerfect shop, however, and, at the very least, I need to read WP files and convert them to something that Soffice or Abiword can read. I may have an old tarball on a backup somewhere. I'll look around. Thanks.
