At http://www.linux-watch.com/news/NS5248375481.html it says, among other interesting things: "The Open XML/ODF Translator project is hosted on SourceForge, and is licensed under the BSD open source license. The first component, the ODF Add-in for Microsoft Word 2007, which allows users to open and save ODF documents in Word, is now available as a 0.3-M1 beta." so you might be able to persuade your Word-using colleagues to save in ODF format for your benefit. Also, the Novell version of OpenOffice, as indicated in the same web page, supports the new MS formats. The downside is you have to pay for that although it's not a lot. -- Harold Fuchs London, England Please reply *only* to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
