Have you activated open office? i.e. opened "open office Calc" and followed the instructions?Always get a Qualified opinion - My qualifications are that I am OLD and GRUMPY:p:p0

I think that got it. It looks like a form overlaid on a calc sheet but its readable and I can email it so must be okay.Thanks for that."Sometimes life sucks....but the alternative is unacceptable."0
