Hello Robyn You are quite right to refuse to pay, OpenOffice.org (OOo) is available *free* from download.openoffice.org If someone has wanted to charge you for it, then you may be being "ripped off." There are people who claim to offer extra services for OOo and charge for those, but you certainly don't _have_ to get it from them. OpenOffice.org can work as a replacement for Microsoft Office and has good (but not perfect) interoperability with MS Office. It will not open or save native MS Works documents, however. Have a look around on http://www.openoffice.org/ where you will find lots of good information, and come back to the list if you have any further questions.
