Thanks James for your instructions. This processed worked on the Word document but not on WPS files. I attached a file to this note for your review.

However, there is a work around. You can install Microsoft Word Viewer and Compatibility Pack (link below). This will allow you to read those files and many other file types and then cut & paste into an OpenOffice document. However, installing the Word Viewer will change the default application for Word documents, so you'll have to change it back, as described here: Right click on file icon Select Open With > Choose Program... Check "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" and choose the desired application. If that method is not available, follow the directions listed here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307859 Word Viewer and Compatibility Pack http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/CD102258581033.aspx -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
