No need to worry about the conversion, have your grandson save as '.doc' rather than '.sxw' OOo does that. The other suggestion to save as a PDF is a good suggestion to. Everybody can use the free reader from Adobe, or use any of the available PDF viewers. The strenght in the PDF format, is that no formatting will be lost, as no conversion is necessary. -- Steve +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Wednesday Sep 08 2004 06:21:01 PM EDT +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The cost of living is going up, and the chance of living is going down.
