Your understanding is correct, but you need to ensure that you use the 'save as' feature and select the .doc extension. Am I right? If so the documents I sent out had a extension of .odt and > could not be opened with word programs. If you are emailing documents try : file > send > email as Micrsoft word Please let me know if I'm wrong, cause this will be a problem for me. More about learning the differences between OOo and MS Office than being wrong. Thank you, > Ed Herout You can of course offer OOo to all those you send emails to and save yourself the hassel of sending large files unnecessarily (.odt files are much smaller than .doc 'normally'). /paul -- Processing Key for cracking HD DVD's: 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 ----- Try Torpark; a small portable, open-source, built on Firefox browser that enables anonymous browsing.
