Well you could argue that MSO 2003 has XML support but you are right that the defacto WP format is .doc. When MS change the default in Office 12 to be XML .doc will still be the most commonly used format for eg mail attachments for some time. Question is how quickly people upgrade to MSO12 in order to exchange in MS XML format compared to people continuing to exchange in .doc and the growing number who will start using ODF. I'm actually starting to get quite a lot of ODF attachments because people know I use OOo20. My business consultant who didn't know anything about ODF before he came in contact with me a few weeks ago just sent me a Calc spreadsheet and the INGOT business plan as ODF files :-) -- Ian Lynch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ZMSL --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
