If you have a friend with a copy of Word, you can download Works converters from: http://www.microsoft.com/products/works/downloads.mspx and convert all your files into .doc files, which can then be processed by openoffice on your own machine. However, they are not standalone programs, and only work with the appropriate version on Word given on that page. However, since it sounds as if the person who serviced your machine did something you neither asked for nor wanted, I would suggest you ask that person first to do the conversions for you. -- John [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
