Just loaded OpenOffice.org 2.2.1. All aspects function, apparently.
Unfortunately, I have not found a way to import msWRITE files, of which I have
many. msWord will import them without problem. Have I missed something?
OpenOffice.org provides an alternative to upgrading from msWORKS to msOFFICE.
Unfortunately, OOo 2.2.1 doesn't seem able to import msWORKS spreadsheet or
msWORKS database, the only two components that I use. Have I missed something?
This apparent inability to convert my significant number of legacy files makes
OOo 2.2.1 of questionable utility. I hope there is a solution.
Thank you for your help.

Regarding MS Write, I think you are going to have to open the files in
Word and save them as .doc files which OpenOffice can open.
Unfortunately not even Microsoft's own Word can read Works files. You
need to open them in Works and save them as .doc files. However, the
following may be of use: http://userful.com/support/ms-works
OpenOffice can't read these things because they are proprietary; many of
the details of the inner workings are not published and it is thus
impossible technically to support them. It's not lack of will.
