Well, having converted my files to .doc .rtf and .sxw, in an older (2.3) version of OO, I still got gobbledygook in OO 2.4. I'm beginning to think that the current build of OO 2.4 in Ubuntu 8.04 may be the bummer, rather than the original 2.3 which I authored the invoices in. Anyone else notice any problems? Dave
