If you have the Works word processor I think you will be out of luck for what you want to do regarding the chapters as that program is rather limited. Word does it no problems at all. What's the problem with bullets?	FoxyMX (5)

454500	2006-05-15 00:33:00	You most certainly can copy and paste your work from Works to Word and may even be able to open your Works files in Word then save them in Word format. Like Pauline says you will have to purchase Word, either bundled with a Works suite that includes it or with MS Office or as a standalone program from a computer retailer. Open Office may be a viable alternative but as I am not familiar with that program I cannot say how good it is at chapters. It will do no harm to investigate though, as the program is free.

Hi Pauline thanx for info, and can you help further.I have a project written in Microsoft WORKS, I have not got M/s word. But I do now have ABIWORD, which is a freeby and is very like M/S word (not free) I have successfully written to works, and need to transfer to Abiword, I changed the format in Works to RTF, so as to transfer the document.I then dragged and dropped the RTF doc onto the Abiword, it went ok and I saved it, But, unfortunately on accessing the abiword to find the document, zilch, where did it go to. I even tried to copy and paste the work to abiword , copy is not a prob, its not pasting.How can I transfer the Works doc to Abiword.	steamman (82)
