More than an hour later, the little "wait" icon is still going 'round and 'round, and the document window is still empty. I think it's safe to say at this point that it's not going to work at all. (It's an odt file.) And no, I can't send the document to you, because it's full of sensitive information. I forgot about that aspect, but it's just one of several reasons why your demand for people to send in troublesome documents just isn't reasonable or realistic. I'm sorry, but that's the reality of it. I still may try it on my N800 for plain text files, because using vi is excruciatning without a proper keyboard. Mark
