I used have a headhunting firm and you've stumbled across one area where the MS lock-in is really strong. A recruiter who doesn't use Office has problems with both clients and candidates. But then once they accept using Office, they end up forcing it on others. Computers are tools, not philosophical statements. If you can't run Word yourself, send your CV to a friend with Word and your practical problem will be solved. If need be, send it to me as I run Office 2000 on the work machine and I'll send you a .doc version back. Patrick
