Have you looked into NeoOffice, Theresa? It's an open-source, freeware - well, donationware - alternative to Microsoft. It's up to version 2.5.5 at the moment, with a 3.0 beta available. It includes a word processor, spreadsheet, drawing and presentation programs and a very capable database. --- MUGLO information at <http://www.freewebs.com/muglo> Manage your account options at <//www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/lsg2.cgi>
