No, it's a converter issue. Keyword simply doesn't have the ability to convert certain Word 2002/2003 files to the format that it requires. This was the crux of what I was trying to talk about the other day, but I inadvertently sent out the wrong draft, instead fussing about tables. Essentially what I really wanted to say was that I hadn't seen any reference to conversion limitations in the Keysoft 6 readme or in the manual. If this is indeed undocumented, new BN/VN/PK users who don't hang out on this list where such things are discussed will discover this issue the hard way, and that's unfortunate. So this should be clearly stated somewhere in the documentation so that someone who needs to handle files coming from coworkers, business associates, classmates et cetera have a heads-up on this and can request that the documents in question be converted to Word 97 on the PC side before they receive them. In addition, the other point that I wanted to make was that I thought the conversion issue was finally going to be put to rest when last year's pre-release marketing material regarding 6.1 referenced transparent handling of word files and support for Word 2002 and 2003, and therein lay the source of my frustration and anger when I ran smack into the conversion issue after installing 6.11. That was a real letdown for me. . Tom
