It will work in the future, but not the very near future. A reminder to the folks who posted the original question ... what Caolan is saying is that *he* isn't likely to implement Word5 support anytime soon. If someone *else* is interested in tackling that work before he gets to it, please let us know. The necessary sources are there for you to work with, and we're very unlikely to reject a well-done patch. Paul motto -- many hands make light work
