Works is the stripped down suite of programs and may or may not open Office files. I can get the word processor to open simple Word document files but if there are macros or other "fancy" items in them it will choke. Probably the same for Excel files. PPT and Access is not supported in Works. You may be better served by installing Open Office if you don't want to install Office for some reason. www.openoffice.org OO is a free open source program suite that will provide very good compatibility with Word, Excel, PowerPoint files. You can import Access files but as far as I can tell it is a one way move, into OO but not into Access. |
