Maybe - but even if you transfer an MS Word document created on one computer to another computer running MS Word there's no guarantee that it will look the same - depending on the setup of the two computers, available fonts, etc. It's much more likely to look the same if PDF format is used - but it's not then readily editable. I doubt whether the disparity between Office lookalikes is any worse than that between different MS Word setups - particularly different versions. -- Cheers, Roger ____________ Please reply to Newsgroup.
