Thanks for the tip. Nice to be able to open with contextual menue! Easier than everything else I tried. Could not get the quicksilver thing to work.

I'm sure the Finderpop does a lot but if only opens Word docs directly from the Finder its great!

I think I have done what you suggested.... it brings up a "document rendering" window and takes very long.... 5 min. for a simple one page Word doc. Then when almost complete.... Mellel crashes.
