OpenOffice is compatible with most MS File types (apart from the very latest 2007 file formats). There is the ability to send a file as 'excel' from within OOo itself. However there is always a 5-10% of complex spreadsheets that may provide some challenges to OpenOfifce, but on the whole, there is no problem. > > 2..

If this is the case then you can follow this guide: http://www.openoffice.org/docs/setup_guide/mu_install.html Reply to the list if there area any further queries. /paul -- For those that love Pandora, but don't live in the USA : http://globalpandora.com/
