Jan, There are three alternatives to Microsoft Word that I know of at present: Open Office - http://www.openoffice.org/ (free download) Star Office - StarOffice Writer http://www.sun.com/software/star/staroffice/writer.jsp Lotus WordPro - http://www-306.ibm.com/software/lotus/ I hope this helps.

I have learned that if you cut and paste, not into WORD, but into WordPad you can then work with your document. This had been pretty frustrating until I discovered that.

I have become increasingly frustrated with Microsoft Word. First, I can no longer copy and paste from my Yahoo email to a Word document. I don't know if this is a Yahoo problem or a Word problem, but I can't do it either on my work computer or my home computer.=20 =20 I sometimes use the Google Document and Spreadsheet Program, but there is a limit on the size of files you can save.=20 =20 I used Word Perfect for many years and was happy with it, but the earlier versions were not compatible with Microsoft Word, so I didn't see any choice but to switch to Word. We use Word at work so I would need a program that would allow me to go back and forth from one program to another. If anyone is familiar with the newer versions of Word Perfect, I'd appreciate your feedback. =20 Jan Davies Library Media Specialist Laurel High School Laurel, Maryland jgdavies2004@yahoo.com =20 =20 =20 =20 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
