Does it save them without any changes? I've thought about trying Open Office. Seems to work for most users. Not sure if it's as good on Mac as it is on PC.
i'd expect it to change the document files when they are resaved, but to preserve the appearance of the documents
OpenOffice works well on my Mac, i've used it quite a bit including for detailed documents with page-layout type features; i've had a few problems getting it to use OpenType fonts and to output high-res images when exporting PDFs, but within the last year or so a new version cleared up most of the problems i saw; i haven't used it for such detailed stuff for a while though
also i found its style sheet system even harder to manage than Word's, and precise positioning of inline graphics to be a black art
for just text with basic styling applied you should expect no problems -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
