I have version 3.0.10289 of IBM Lotus Symphony. I don't have Microsoft Office 2003 which came preinstalled on my crashed dead desktop in Windows XP 32-bit, the CD I do have that came with this free laptop is the Student edition of Microsoft Office 2010 and it wants me to register it however I can't read the 25-digit without sighted assistance because my scanner gave up on me two years ago...which is why I proofread now. I will give it a go...what you said.

When I start the program and press ctrl O to open a file, I get a dialog box which has a Files of Type drop-down box at the bottom where I can specify Microsoft Word 97-2003 doc files. I think this is built into Symphony but I'm not positive if I had to select any file conversion options when I installed it since it's been a while ago. And if you still have Microsoft Office 2003, I would strongly recommend installing that instead of Office 2010. I'm still running Office 2002 also known as Office XP.

I'm finding that most software upgrades especially those from Microsoft don't really add needed functionality but change the user interface so previous users have to re-learn how to do the things they already knew how to do. It is a huge waste of time and money. You do know that Lotus Symphony can read Word doc files, don't you? I have Lotus Symphony 3.0 on my system and was able to open your NPR file just fine with it albeit a tad slowly. You may need to do some reformatting depending on the complexity of the Word document being opened and features it may contain not supported by Lotus Symphony but most basic Word documents should open just fine.

Glad it works for you alll...now I actually have to download MS Office 2010 on this windows 7-64-bit laptop from HP the HPG72 in order for it to read the doc file...but I like using IBM Lotus Symphany because the layout is just like Office 2003, call me cheap and cheesy and old fashioned. -- "Passion is a great motivator.
