Really no. Practically, for incomplete but workable solutions - you could use openoffice on windows for all the parties handling the documents - or run ms-office, exact same version, in wine on linux. The word file format is not completely documented, and no tool, including MS Office itself, can handle documents correctly across versions. One of my ex-boss was stuck with office 97 and the documents we exchanged between office 97, office 2000 and office 2003 had really bizzar issues. IME, openoffice is lot more dependable in that regards. It just looks and behaves the same, across the platforms and most of the times, across the versions too. -- Shridhar -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: ([email protected]) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
