One thing I like about Ted (word processor, not text editor) is it uses RTF as its native format, and that of course is supported for reading and writing by any M$ Office version or even WordPad. It supports tables and images, with more limitations than ODT or DOCX, but well enough to do the job. -- __ __ #_ < |\| |< _#
