It does not support .xls format. OpenOffice.org does not support works formats. Microsoft office does support loading in works formats. But: . The converters are not loaded in a standard install of office. You must do a custom install (on my office2000). . Certain versions of the converters have been buggy (hence why they are not installed by default). It is recommended to save works files as .rtf for documents and .csv for databases. Then import into OO.o. OP "I have been trying to make address labels using either MS Works 8 database or a table I developed from MS Works 8 in OO but have not succeeded. Can this be done?" The answer to your question is yes it can be done. If you explained better what you have tried to do, we could provide more thorough answers. Can you get labels to work if you create them in OO.o from scratch? Are your tables in calc or writer? -- Michael Those that can, do; those that can't, teach. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
