Not quite sure what you mean there about barriers.
The occasion with the order form was a few years ago when I was still on dialup. When referring to "barriers", I was meaning if someone had sent in a CV to a potential employer ,and having one persons that they cant open because it may be in a different format, the employer would more than likely simply dump it.

The job market is tight as we all know, and sending in documents that cant be opened without having to download and install additional programs wouldn't be of any advantage to the person applying for the job.

Thats why I mentioned PDF - many programs will open it. :)

1208591 2011-06-12 21:35:00 Errrr No :eek: Maybe that's why people dont use it -- Thanks for pointing that out :) wainuitech (129)
1208592 2011-06-13 00:55:00 Thanks all for your input. My important files were in Lotus 123
Which I was able to send to OO. Where my son is now they
have MS Office so there shouldn't be any more problems.

1208595 2011-06-15 06:29:00 Please do not laugh.
I have been using Lotus Smart Suite for many years
because it did everything I needed, till my son wanted to send
his CV to someone. Guess what, they couldn't open it.
I thought now is the time to change to Open Office.
All good. Transferred some files from Lotus 123 (SPREAD SHEET)
no problem. Wanted to transfer some old notes from Lotus Word Pro,
this appears as gibberish in Open Office. It seems that OO does not
recognise Word Pro but does recognise 123. Any comments appreciated.

gradebdan, see attached.

Came out on Monday's wardrobe crash.
