Would you, then, say that "The trouble is you can't > work together with people in the business world ... unless you do [install > and run Internet Explorer]" as well ? What I am saying is that its very difficult to work on common documents when others are using word unless you do also. This is not an argument for using word at all, just an expression of frustration that so many people do. You *can* do it but have to accept many compromises in the way you work and its hard to get good consistent results that will work interoperably with different platforms/apps. Its not fun repeatedly saying "don't use that feature because it doesn't work with ....." and so on. Now if there really were an open source word that *was* completely and transparently compatible ........ there goes a flying pig again .... -- andy _______________________________________________ Andy Heath Sheffield Hallam University andy@andyheath.org.uk
