AW can save in .rtf, which NeoOffice opens without a problem; it chokes on the same file in .cwk format. (Can't say as I blame the student... my choice for word processing is still Word 5.1a -- can't stand the Word in Office X, and I'm not upgrading to the later versions. NeoOffice can save in .doc and .docx. >I also suggested she try Openoffice, which will save DOC files, but I >have some doubts if her computer is current enough to use it. It works on my 2002 QuickSilver G4 (OS X 10.4.11) and a G3 iBook. Doesn't cost anything to try... -- Selah! Bwms -= "Microsoft is a cross between the Borg and the Ferengi.
