There was nothing about your message I liked, but let's stick to the matter at hand. 1) Do NOT send HTML-formatted messages, they are akin to your blasphemy around here. Send plain text. 2) Be specific: Microsoft 2007 could mean several different programs. You mean Microsoft Office? Well, yeah, you should be able to. 3) You're unable to do so? You want us to tell you why? We need more information, sorry. Luckily, we're happy to point you in the right direction. OK, check if you have the program installed correctly. In your start folder, under all applications, there should be a folder that says "OpenOffice" or something of the like. Inside should be Base, Writer, Calc, Impress, and other components in no particular order. Open Writer. If it started OK, then there is probably nothing wrong. Hit Ctrl-O and navigate to any .docx file you wish. Open it. It should pop up. If it doesn't, you may not have the latest version of OOo installed. Go to http://openoffice.org and download it again, then you should be able to. If you want to make OOo the default for all .docx files, you have to go to the properties of the file and change it there...though I forget what the exact process is, because I use better operating systems now. Cheers, MarkTraceur -- "The patient typically finds himself impelled by some deep, inner conviction that something is true, or right, or virtuous: a conviction that doesn't seem to owe anything to evidence or reason, but which, nevertheless, he feels as totally compelling and convincing. We doctors refer to such a belief as 'faith'." "Most people, I believe, think that you need a God to explain the existence of the world, and especially the existence of life. They are wrong, but our education system is such that many people don't know it." "Faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence." "I am against religion because it teaches us to be satisfied with not understanding the world." --Richard Dawkins --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org
