Hi Christophe,
Thank you for your reply. I'm glad to hear that your are working on it. I just wonder if using Open Office is a good solution. I know that Open Office is not able to convert more complex MS Office documents. Recently, I just read that even Star Office can't handle complex documents. Correct me if I'm wrong.
