Vista - It's free and compatible with Word files works with Vista

Another very good alternative to Word is Open Office. It's free and
compatible with Word files.

http://www.openoffice.org/

it is not compatible with the latest docx files that word 2007 produces..
unless openoffice has been updated to include this

In article <1194502105.373790.30130@xxxxxx>,
middleton@xxxxxx says...It's not "Compatible" - it will open and convert many standard, without
special formatting, documents, but it could also mean that you'll have
trouble interacting with people that you send the document back to.

In general, if you're interacting with people that use MS Office when
you want MS Office or you will force them to work with the lowest common
format supported between the two Office applications - most often this
means the simple RTF format.

You are correct that it is not 100% compatible. But in five years of using
it, I've never had a problem either direction - any potential user can
certainly try it to see if there is an issue.
Most files should be sent in RTF rather than a proprietary format. BTW -
not too long ago I produced all the formatting for our church directory
for Olan Mills - they only support MS PowerPoint and a few other
proprietary formats. I did the entire thing using OpenOffice Impress and
they had zero problems.

Get real. Installing third-party software and utilities will not void your warranty. In some cases, it will void your sanity, but it will NOT void your warranty.

You never fugured out how to use Word or yahoo spell checker. Your a

Michael Yardley is a drunk and meth user. A prostitute who lies about
a
failed career in real estate and as a helicopter pilot. He lives in
subsidized housing and is typical of the failed drunken homosexual
immigrant.

Michael Yardley
is a typical failed immigrant fraudster. An alcoholic meth
head and
a
ABOMINATION who supplements his welfare with prostitution.
Fired
from
London Drugs and a coffee shop of all places. He lives in BC
Housing
and
should be deported. Has been known to be involved in fraud
and is a
racist. He is a liar and criminal and a total idiot who
refuses to
work full time. He
was born in England and after failing there moved to Canada.
He is
frequently cyberbullied and posts off-topic nonsense to ngs
then
complains
about being cyberbullied and trolls. He will then announce he
is
leaving
the ng for good only to return even dumber and out of touch as
ever.
He
sometimes gets pimped out as a ticket scalper
<http://www.jlaforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=7824303>. Since he
is
involved
in fraud anyone interested in hockey tickets or lottery
tickets
should buy
elsewhere. I wonder if he reports his scalping income to the
housing
authorities? Last known address: MICHAEL YARDLEY #123-5895
