Maybe http://symphony.lotus.com might help. It's a no-cost down load
for Linux/win and uses .odf as it's default format and I'm guessing
that it would open 123/wordpro ... but now that I read your email
properly it seems you'll be in a similar position to what you
described - no short way.

Anyhow I hope it helps
