| 593005 | 2007-09-19 22:51:00 | Either you install Open Office, or get your neice to save the document in .doc format. For her to be able to do this, (on her PC) open Open Office, click on tools/options/load-save/general. Under the document type select Text Document, and under always save as select Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP, then click OK, and resave the document. I think you installing OO might be a bit easier. You can download it from here (http://www.openoffice.org/), but you will need to have broadband. |
