Excel and Word are Microsoft programs. You must get them from MS. There is a spreadsheet program in OOo called Calc which can read and write .xls file types; although the compatibility is very good, it is not perfect. The word processor in OOo is called Writer and can read and write .doc files almost perfectly. I have about one minor problem per year. If you need compatibility for co-operative development of a document, then you should ensure that all collaborators are using the same program. If, however, you want something for your own use, then OpenOffice.org is an excellent replacement for MS Office. -- Andy Pepperdine On this mailing list help is provided by volunteers.
