MS doesn't typically release a viewer for Office products until well after the current version has been on the market for awhile. It took better than a year for the 97 viewer to appear (BTW, that was also the first time they released such a thing) and the 2000 viewers appeared well after the product entered the market. Give it time, the viewers will be along presently, I'm sure. Greg Chapman http://www.mousetrax.com "Counting in binary is as easy as 01, 10, 11!
