ah, its ppc iirc
if x11 is not installed it should be on the mac osx installation disk.
then get the open office package from one of the sites

i downloaded open office. it doesn't seem to do anything once installed - i can't open files with it for example.
i think we're going to have to admit defeat on this one. if i can't convert this into a word file, then it's not going to work for me.
oh well, thanks anyway!

something called open office starts up. it appears in the top bar, there are options etc, but if i try to open a file with it, it won't let me.
but really open office isn't the solution. if i can't convert this mdb file to a word one, then it's not worth bothering with.
i'm throwing in the towel. thanks again.

i can convert this to a file that open office can read
is it for a report than needs to be in word?

no it's a list of contacts that i'll open fairly often - and i can't be arsed having to use a different app to do it. if i can't do it in word then i'd rather not bother.
if i can open it in open office and then covert it to a word file, then great.

i've never encountered an mdb file before today. someone sent me their list of contacts and that was the format it was in. i'm just trying to convert it into something i can read.

thanks again!
