I suspect you may have missed my meaning. I'm not suggesting
that you use openoffice to read the documents you are complaining
about - I'm suggesting that you use a tool that will illustrate
to your nemesis that the format is not well suited for sharing
documents.
On the other hand, if you aren't willing to use a pointing device
at all (or is it just mice?), then you may be out of luck
altogether. Are you trying to convince the administration to use
different data formats? Or that they aught not use a mouse?
