Alvin,
Looks like I'm badly mistaken here, thanks for correcting me, I placed an
order for the book. I've spent some time with the first version of OWC and I
remember this one required Office to be installed on the client, didn't know
this was simply a "licensing" issue. I had the impression this was needed
for some automation functionality with Office servers like Excel.
