not any. just MS Office. prior to Office 2007. > 1. I have received an attachment to e-mail in Works. I was unable to open > the attachment.

The Excel was sent in portrait direction. i don't understand the implication of having sent in portrait direction. On the other hand, do let us know the file extension of the spreadsheet. > 3.

Why? because you most probably saved the documents in the ISO approved OpenDocument format which ensures that your documents will be viewable and preserved for long times...beyond the life of the openoffice project itself. on the other hand, your email recipients are still struggling with non-standard products and file formats of MS Office. If you intend your recipients only to read your documents then i would suggest you to email the documents in PDF format. > I am under the assumption this program is seamless.

LGPL gives you the freedom to pay or not pay for the version. If you really want to make up for $35 i recommend you to download the latest version from http://download.openoffice.org and distribute as many copies as you can to all your email recipients and your friends, so you can help make a small move towards ending MS Office monopoly and get more benefits out of the $35 you spent. If I cannot use the program as my understanding, > then I will be better served by Microsoft although, the reason I am here > is to avoid Microsoft monopoly. Customers serve Microsoft. They don't serve customers. that's a myth. -- Diabolic Preacher As Is Blog: http://pintooo15.livejournal.com/ Bookmarks: http://simpy.com/user/dpreacher -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCS/IT d+(-) s+:+ a22 C++@ UL@ P L+(++) E- W++ !N o?
