I'm hungry now.... ;-) You need to make sure that 'automatic file extension' is checked when you save a file. This will make sure that either .doc or .odt is put at the end of your document. Windows machines rely heavily on the extension to know what application to open it in. /paul -- For those that love Pandora, but don't live in the USA : http://globalpandora.com/
