I had a trial of Microsoft Word, which ran out. Now there is Microsoft Works installed in it and I can use that. However, some of the printing projects I have are for "Word" not Works. So if I downloaded your program: 1. Will it be compatable with this stupid Vista? 2. Will I be able to use it the same as Word? So that the template would be recognized? 3. Will it mess us my Works? (coz I got a bunch of documents done in it) Thank you for taking the time to answer these questions. Sincerely, Jo Ann OpenOffice support the older Word files but not the new format that's used by default in Office 2007 and incompatible with everything else.  If your files have the .DOCX extension, you'll have to re-save them as .DOC.  The same applies to Works files.  Installing OpenOffice will not affect either Microsoft Office or Works.  However, since OpenOffice is a free download, from www.openoffice.org, why not give it a try and see if it meets your needs?  With OpenOffice, you'll be able to read & write in the older Microsoft formats as well as the ISO standard ODF formats. --
