Hugh and others: There is also another way to read it open office will open it. www.openoffice.org has a suite of tools that wil read microsoft and other file types I think I may have even seen a viewer for autocad files don't quote me though. Version 1.1 will output in PDF, Does spread sheets and wordprocessing. Best of all it is open source and free for both windows and Linix.. it works better if you install java first which is also free from SUN. Other free software out there is AFPL Ghostscript and ghost view for editing PDF files. Also avalible for widows and liniux. Liniux and retated tools is also freely avalible if you get sick of microsoft.

Or think there may be a free reader from Microsoft for Excel. Hugh main TV al m wrote: >I would like to download the combi cross file but I can't seem to open it. I have Winzip trial version.
