Thanks. I'll send it to my wifes's Win 7 machine, it has office 2003 on it. 
I personnaly have not used MS software since 1999. Been all Linux. Actually I 
have XP on a virtual machine under my Linux but I have not been sussesful 
updating .net on it past version 3.0. 3.5 and later fail on install, no real 
error stated. I also only have MSoffice 2003. I refuse to pay MS what they 
want for the capability I need. 

Will office 2003 open a .docx, last I heard it would not. I have nothing that 
will open the .docx unless I reinstall LO3.6.3, I think it opens them better 
but still has problem. Will doing more experimenting with Tom's and your 
ideas.

thanks 

Russ
