That is correct, OOo does NOT read Works files. What it does read is Wordperfect files which have a similar extension. I believe this is where the confusion has arisen. OOo reads RTF and DOC which I believe WOrks can produce directly or with converter from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=b9e11e83-f51b-4977-b572-8c042df802c1&displaylang=en So in a way your wife is right but had you said Works files at the beginning we could have told you about having to do some extra work. -- Documentation Co-lead "Dinna meddle wi' things ye ken nuthin' aboot!"
