Thanks Martin Being a newbie, I am not sure what information to provide. Thanks for the tip. I am using version 1.0.3, (Thats what the directory in home says) and I installed from the ports collection. Installation seemed to go smoothly, it took awhile as I am using a P2 with 128MB RAM, but no errors at the end, and all aspects of the program open and work fine - except when it comes to opening M$ docs. When I try to open a M$ doc, all of the information disappears and I get a k# at the top of the page only, or I get the error - An unrecoverable error has occurred. All modified files have been saved and can probably be recovered at program restart.- I have also noticed that the word docs do not have a word icon, yet the excel doc does.(Microsoft office 97 icons) The original docs are in office XP format.
