I hadn't wished to do anything with word docs, but when you say convert, 
what do they get converted to?

Yes, they were pretty self-explanatory - I just copied all the startup 
msgs. I agree that it would be nice to switch those msgs off...

I don't need any other languages apart from English but haven't managed to 
remove them so far

I remember Lord Gates telling me, many years ago, that OS/2 was going to 
be the biggest program of all time and I believed him ;-)...

I guess I just stuck with it since I didn't want to be on the upgrade 
treadmill, didn't like viruses and wanted to be in control of what my 
computer was doing rather than having mysterious upgrades being 
auto-installed.
