Sure, it would download at a decent speed now because I uploaded it to one of MY websites. ;) (See original post below again). Thanks to ALL that replied (Ben, Mark, Rocky, Harold, Peter, Phil, hope I didn't forget anyone). For those that may have missed it: "So I searched for 'word viewer' since you said it was a Word 2003 doc, I found this http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=4 installed it and that opened it. I thought I had every kind of M$ viewer out there, some that would open Word files, but evidently not and I needed that specific one. Ben also made a .rtf (so WordPad would open it without a slow '*Office' product opening it), and a PDF. Should this happen again, I now have the exact viewer from which I should be able to create RTF and PDF. Thanks again to all that replied, I appreciate it. -Clint God Bless, Clint Hamilton, Owner www.OrpheusComputing.com www.ComputersCustomBuilt.com www.OrpheusComputing.com/most_reliable_cheapest_webhosting.html www.OrpheusComputing.com/PCworks-computer-help-email-list.html ----- Original Message ----- From: "Phill Argus" Down loaded and opened in OOo Write in less than 30secs in Au.
