TextEdit, Appleworks, OpenOffice, Mariner Write, ICWord and quite a few others are able to open and write MS Word files. TextEdit is included with OS X. Appleworks is on most "consumer" macs (iMacs, eMacs, iBooks). The others are either free or shareware. _Chas_ Mnemonic of the Year: ABBA -- Anybody But Bush Again. http://www.abbaparty.com
