There is no need to buy anything. OpenOffice is Free Sofware. You (and everyone else) can download it free of charge from http://www.openoffice.org There are no strings attached and nobody will ever send you a bill. You can export your Microsoft Access databases to CSV format and import that into OpenOffice. Your Microsoft Word files should just work directly with OpenOffice without having to make any changes at all. For exporting the Microsoft Access files, I have actually just used a program called mdbtools that allowed me to export a mdb database to a CSV file on this Linux computer. So that can be done as well. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
