Thanks for the help.

Hi,

You're wellcome.

For what it is worth, tired of fumbling endlessly with
the 03 viewers from Microsoft, I just installed the MS-Office
97 viewers for excel, powerpoint and word on my wine computer.
Did not take one minute for each install.

And I have yet to find a .doc, .xls or .ppt that they cannot
display in "the correct Microsoft Way" ;-)

This, in combination with OOorg 2.3 offers the possibility to
do anything office related in Linux, at least for me. ;-)

regards
Eberhard

Hi,
Actually I have the MS Word docs that have a template and
header and footer. It also has an index. I don't have any
problem reading through the doc. The problem arrises when I
have to write to the doc. The index has links to the exact
page. those links are damaged. I can't change the text in the
header and footer.

Saurabh.

ok then the viewers might be a soltion, but do not fit to your
problem ;-)

If you have it available, you could, lastly, install office 97
(without access). This should install rather painlessly.

Alternatively, word 2k works well, too. I am currently
unsure about excel2k and Powerpoint 2k, but they shjould work,
as well.

Anyway, those require more work, mainly because you have to
install IE before the Office apps, since newer Office versions
depend on IE to display their html-help.

At least these are Apps
that I had installed successfully with wine.

so all_in_all, crossover does not seem to be the worst of
things to buy ;-))

Cheers
Eberhard
