ReNa, anything that WP saves it can also open regardless of how it saves it. If you just do a save it always saves it in WP format. You can also save in .DOC format .rtf format etc. and it still opens it. I have Perfect Office 6.0 and it will not however open a DOC file created my more recent versions of MSWORD. If it was saved with WP something else happened to cause it to open up in gibberish. Cy ----- Original Message ----- From: "G.R.
