2 ways:
legal and illegal...
the legal way: open source.. port openoffice to QB or FB and voil?!
the illegal way: **edited by Microsoft** This text was removed due law restrictions, etc. **edited by Microsoft**
Good luck!

MOST KEYBOARDS HAVE THEM ON THE LEFT SIDE, ABOUT 4 KEYS DOWN FROM THE TOP. I HOPE THAT HELPS WITH YOUR QUESTION.
btw... that would be amazing (probably not possible) if OpenOffice.org was ported to QB. Just imagine...

Horusmire, the above gaff amounts to this: Files with the extention .DOC are usually text documents save in the MS Word file format, which is proprietary. If you have documents that you would like to access that are saved in such a format, I suggest converting them to ASCII text, but you will lose most formating information like page layout, font, size, etc.
Also, check out wotsit.org, a huge collection of file formats which includes some versions of the MS Word format.
msdn.microsoft.com is the first place to go when looking for information about formats defined by Microsoft (but finding what you're looking for is like pulling teeth until you become familiar with the site's layout).
