Works import is listed as a LibreOffice feature, see http://www.libreoffice.org/download/new-features-and-fixes/ Wikipedia also lists this as a Go-oo feature, which explains why LibreOffice and NeoOffice have it, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go-oo But note that the OP mentions OpenOffice, not LibreOffice. Maybe this is the real issue? Or maybe Works has different file formats for different versions. After all, that's the Microsoft way. -- Nuno J.
