I don't believe you can. I believe you need to get Works to save the document in Word format. OpenOffice can then read the result. However, the Word that comes with MS Office 2007 seems to have some facility for handling Works documents. Price might be a consideration here :-( Also, I found http://www.av.k12.mo.us/documents/works2office.html which seems to suggest that even old versions of Word can handle them to (it's dated 2003). -- Harold Fuchs London, England Please reply *only* to [email protected]
