I use it for financial records, lists (clubs, high school classmates, Christmas cards, lab test reports, medical expenses) and not much else. As long as LO or OO will do .xls I think I'm okay. Word is different. I have written a newsletter (2003 Word) for retired military officers for 20 years and the recipients need to be able to open it - most use Word. I'm not sure why I'm so curious when MS Office 2003 is doing all I want. But I am. Thanks, Hugh
