Take a look at: http://user-faq.openoffice.org/faq/index.html-toc.html this may help to allay some of your concerns. Brief answers to your questions: Yes you will be able to open, edit and save documents created with Word. You will not be able to use OOo Writer as the email editor in Outlook, but Outlook will still work the same way as it always has (good or bad) if you install OOo. No you do not have to remove (delegate?) MS Office to install OOo, they will happily coexist on the same computer. If you need more help check the wealth of information here: http://documentation.openoffice.org/ and if you cannot find an answer there try: http://mindmeld.cybersite.com.au/ or email your question to: users@openoffice.org HTH Dave --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
