Good Morning - Harold, Thanks for your info - this helps a lot. With regards to placing my question where I did - I was mislead by the message (placed by Openoffice) found in the OE-subject box. I'll know better next time. Sorry to have complicated matters. Best Regards Wolf Ehlers of Woking/Surrey

I am using only 1 computer for private use. Not sure exactly what you mean. Which "2 domains"? You only mention one - Windows XP Home. OpenOffice documents should be properly readable and editable by OpenOffice on any platform that OpenOffice runs on - Windows, Mac, Unix, Linux. Interchanging between OpenOffice and Microsoft Office is slightly more problematic. OpenOffice can read MS Office documents and it can also save documents in MS Office (.doc) format if you tell it to correctly. Nut MS office *cannot* read OpenOffice documents nor can it create them. Complex documents may lose some formatting during the conversion. MS Office macros in VBA will *not* convert to OpenOffice; OpenOffice macros will (I believe) *not* convert to MS office. If this does not address your problem, please ask again supplying more details. But please do *not* put your whole question in the Subject line of your e-mail; it makes life very awkward.
