My school board uses MsOffice exclusively but I think they will entertain installing a filter to accommodate those using OpenOffice. The filter would have to be added to Word. Sadly, installing OpenOffice at this point would most likely not be an option. Marc So at school, MS Office is used, but some (or many) of the students use
OpenOffice.org at home? And now you want to install a filter at school so the students' documents can be opened in MS Office? If you just tell the students to save their work as MS Office 97/2000/XP (.doc, .xls etc), you don't need a filter. If the students are supposed to also write macros, these won't work, however. If you don't need to edit the students' work, and no macros are required, the best way is to tell them to export their work to PDF. If you don't like to talk to the students, you need a filter at school. Unfortunately I don't know much of this. The closest I got, searching with google, was this<http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=169337>, but I don't know how relevant this information is for you. Johnny Andersson
