Dear all:
I have some text documents from open office that has an extention
of SXW. I want to take it to work and print this file out on Word.
Word opens the .SXW files as gibberish.
Is there a way I can print this file? Please help. I really
would appreciate any pointers.
thx. in advance.

Word only opens its own closed, proprietary formats and a few formats
it's trying to supplant.
Install OpenOffice on your computer. It's a free download from
openoffice.org, and it's available for Windows as well as other
platforms.
Note that you can export to MS-word format from OpenOffice, but
complicated formatting isn't guaranteed to survive.
