If the program is VisualBasic macros embedded in an Excel spreadsheet, then OOo won't work. The versions of Basic are not compatible. If it is just the spreadsheet data with formulas, OOo ought to work. Since you don't have to pay for OOo, it would certainly be worth trying before you buy MSOffice. -- Mac :}) ** I usually forward private questions to the appropriate mail list. ** Ask Smarter: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Give a hobbit a fish and he eats fish for a day.
