>"Amit Jaisingh" replied => I think the star-office version bundled with CHIP special cannot be installed on RHL 6.0...this was mentioned by someone in 'letters to the editor' section of CHIP...so you'll have to download (its 70 MB stuff) start-office 5.1 if you want to install it.

As written in its 'install' file, I copied its files in new /mswordview folder. Than I ran './configure' followed by 'make' and 'make install'. It installed the files in '/usr/local/bin' folder. But when I double click the MSWORDVIEW file nothing happens.

Is this the same problem like SO5. Can anyone help ? If someone has Chip Linux CD, please tell if there is another software on it which can read my old MSWord files.

Can Wordperfect for Linux read MSWord files ?

Thanks: G
