Re: lingo-l Word problem -not OT-
What about the Word viewer? Not sure if it's available for the later versions of WOrd but I do believe Office 2000 came with a viewer to read Word format. Couldn't you launch your Word document from the CD using that? And if the client is gonna kill you then perhaps you should set him straight on what can and cannot be done, and the reasons why (like stating the PDF is a much more suitable format anyway) before he has the chance.
