| 1423798 | 2016-07-29 00:56:00 | I am going to have to do something reliable for the nexy year or two. PJ "The screen I typed on WAS Microsoft word (MS Office 2003)" Theres nothing wrong with MS word2003. It will save a .doc by default. Unless the defaults have changed its not saving as .docx is it ? Upgrading Office wont solve the issue . If the other person cant open a .doc, then the issue is at there end. If they cant open a .doc then its a very sad state of affairs :) Open source programs wont help if the issue is with the persons PC you sent it to. - assuming the person you are sending to cant open .doc ..... I would just type up in notepad , and save as .txt . It wont look pretty, but will open & be readable Type up a small word doc, attach it in this forum, we'll see if there is really any issue with these doc's. |

| 1423799 | 2016-07-29 01:04:00 | Wordpad is free. Libreoffice is free. Openoffice is free. Use one. Save your money for other things, Microsoft don't really need it ;) |

There is also MS Office Online. (https:) Both don't have the advanced features, i.e. Macro's, Auto Correct, Hot Keys, Field Codes, Mail Merge. The latter you can save/share/collaborate online via MS One Drive (onedrive.live.com) account, but of course need internet connection. | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||
