People, this poor guy has some documents, most probably *not* written by himself, he needs to read. Advice to re-write his documents is completely besides the point! Vlad, if you don't mind, please send one of your docs (a small one, not more than 100KB, I am with a modem) and I'll tell you whether they can be rendered properly in kword or OpenOffice. I'll let you know about the outcome. If you send it, please do so off-list.
