Heya Dean,

This is going to be a hard one. In general people will use PDF as it guarantees in a way the integrity of what you are reading.

All that being said, I think that Adobe provide sucg a piece of software at a cost, alternatively, if you have an OCR (Optical Character Reader) program that will be possible as well, altough in either case you may loose some of the formatting depending on how it was originally generated.

Good to see soemone using OpenOffice. I have used it for many years and it gets better and better. I had enough of paying $500/year to "upgrade" Microsoft Office.

Cheers
