I understand that to __edit__ MS word files, the only fully functional
option is OpenOffice.
However, to just read properly .doc files that people email me thinking
that its the only format around, what works? I need not just the text
but collumns, tables, images, the works.
Is there a way to convert them to PS and view with gv?
Thanks,

Unfortunatly to be able to convert them to PS properly implies that you
can open them already.
The only reliable way I have found to do that is to convert them on a
Windows machine to PS and
then send them out.
OO usually works but does foul up some complicated documents.
Then again, I get Windows word documents that I cannot open properly on
my Word for Mac, so
MS isn't even compatable with themselves.
Move to Massachusetts and insist on ODF documents :-)
