While Office 2007 & SP2 support ODF, that support is broken. OpenOffice can read & write in the older Microsoft Office formats and read Office 2007 files. There is also an ODF plugin, for Microsoft Office available from Sun: http://www.sun.com/software/star/odf_plugin OpenOffice.org is a full office suite, comparable to Microsoft Office and meets the needs of most users. It is a free download from www.openoffice.org and can be installed and used on as many computers as you wish. You are also free to pass it on to others. ##################################################################################### Note: This message is for the named person's use only.
