| 238053 | 2004-05-20 23:34:00 | Her sister died,leaving her a pc,WIn98se.She has the original Word disc,but no paper work to let her reinstall Word,after reformatting to start afresh.She has rung Microsoft,but says it's so complicated trying to get a number that she's given up.Any suggestions please. The patch cd from Microsoft is coming in handy now.Also might load that Open Office suite for her if we have trouble getting a key,since she uses Word at work,and they're meant to work together? |

| 238054 | 2004-05-20 23:40:00 | Give her OpenOffice.org 1.1 to try :-) If she doesnt like it, then email me (Address in my profile) and I can help Chill. |

Lets keep it clean :-) [Edited by: Moderator on May 21, 2004 11:10 AM] |
