You should maybe take a hard look at something called "NeoOffice" It's no longer in "Beta" and it's a complete working suite of office like soutions including a spreadsheet. it's also fully supported. It looks and feels a lot like "Word' and "Excel" it can also read and write your "Excel: sheets. It's a winner and best of all it's free and works on 10.3.9! rick --------------------------------------------------------------------- --- "S.
