[OB] New issue exporting DOC, etc. from Omnibook 300/425/etc. to Office 2003 SP3

[Andrew Lovell]

Hi

micro$oft has taken its monopolist tendencies a step further, by 
attempting to force everybody to "upgrade" to their latest office 
package. The main motivation is, of course, to sell more office packages.
This sort of underhand manipulation should be referred to the 
Monopolies Commission.
I use Word 6 for everyday work, since I know the macro language, and 
do not have the time and energy to learn Word Basic. Word 2002 is 
slow and buggy. I got fed up with it crashing after about one day's use.

Yours

Andrew
