But as always with file-formats the least common denominator is likely to be the best. For Word I have found this to be Rich-text format (rtf), which is (almost) readable,to work well on Word. However, I read an article on phpbuilder.com about it, a while ago. I suggest you go there and look if it fits your needs. Another option is to use COM, but that means you got to have Word on your PC, and isn't exactly a way of doing things if you don't like cryptic error messages and strange behaviour from your PC. ===== Olav Bringedal jaggu.org __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
