Why have a dependency on MS Word? Will every user have it? Why not use RTF? It's a lot lighter, pretty much a cross-platform standard. MS Word will open it, but you don't need MS Word because every copy of Windows has the WordPad RTF editor. Mac comes with TextEdit, and I'm sure *nix must have a default RTF editor as well. For something as simple as labels, I think RTF would be a lot easier to work with. -- Kevin Powick
