I installed Jarte, which is a free word processing program. I discovered that I still had to download a Microsoft converter program, but after doing that I could open doc files with Jarte. I did all this a couple of years ago, so don't know about any changes in the meantime. http://www.jarte.com/ Joni -----Original Message----- From: Mike B.
