If anybody sends me a file in word format I always reply asking for it in an open standard format - explaining that an open standard format is one for which full documentation is publicly available and which does not require to purchase any special software to read - concluding with a note that Word format fails in several respects, and could they please send in a format which can be of any use, preferably plain text.
You could also reply asking them where you can find a copy of Microsoft Word which will work on your operating system, to allow them to send the document in that weird format they seem to require :-) C _______________________________________________ Scottish mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish
