I was wondering before I purchase however if one can open Word Docs and other word processor docs with your program? Yes it opens Word documents and quite a few other word processor formats. The only potential hitch is that files saved with the newest version of Word, Word 97,cannot yet be read by OpenOffice if the file is saved in Word 97's new format. Ummm...  I think you're about 10 years off.  It's Office 2007 that's causing the problem. --
