I have opened MANY MS-Word documents, received as attachments in K-Mail, into OpenOffice.org -- Write. The documents were prepared under MS-Office for Mac -- but have never given me any problems when handled this way. You can download OpenOffice.org (even a Win-Doze edition!) for free -- and i might suggest that you do this if it isn't part of the Slackware distro yet. I hope this is helpful, even though it is not a direct answer! Bruce Mac Arthur [email protected]
