Did you ever stop and think that the reason the file formats aren't the same is because in 6.0 they found a better way to save to the disk?? Maybe its faster or smaller..who knows but it is major changes like this that will not allow backwards compatibility for everything. Anyway...if you don't like it..don't use it. Novell has WP out there...I'm sure the millions of satisfied customers won't give a damn if you switch. I know MS won't. Justin
