I don't know if it is in help. But I have been doing Microsoft User Support for years and an Office Binder Template is one of those things that I have run across before. If you do a google search on ".obt" and "file extension" I bet you'll find more info. ;-) Does this fit the description of the .obt files that YOU are trying to open? If the information isn't sensetive, you could send me a copy of one of your .obt files and I can have a loot to confirm what it is -and is not. -- James White GpP: DB56 8EF6 If this helped you, please take the time to rate the value of this information: http://rate.affero.net/frozenJim/ResolutionIT.ca/
