I don't know if OpenOffice.org supports that, but if you're stuck, you might consider Linux. Many people have run various versions of Microsoft Office on Linux, using a utility called "Wine" or a commercial version of Wine called "Crossover Office". Don't you just *LOVE* Microsoft's compatibility with it's own products? There intent is to force you to upgrade and so what if you lose your data in the process. You've just demonstrated the need for open document formats and open source software. -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
