I do hope for an attempt at conversion rather than a total freeze. If tables are sometimes not imported at all, the statement "WRITER can of course read all your old Microsoft Word documents ..." needs YMMV added. Some of my documents consist mainly of tables, and in some cases they are quite large. If the problem in this particular document is the table there is no point in trying to convert it in parts, as the table covers well over half the pages. Ho hum, looks as if the changeover will not be as easy as I had hoped. -- Tony I don't answer emails - reply to the list or newsgroup --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
