You sound like you might know a thing or two about computers.

I have a question and I hope I can be clear with my problem.

I get text files via email that I need to open in Word Perfect or Notebook.

For some reason, and I think it's because I clicked a weird button when I first got my system, they are all opening in a very old program called Symantac Q&A write. Since this is a program from 1993 and unupgradable, it won't convert many of the text files.

How can I reprogram or click on something to have my computer open email text files in Word Perfect or Notebook?

I don't know all that much about them anymore, but more than I want to know. Check the options in your email software; there should be a way to select the default program you want.

Try right clicking the document's icon. You should see an Open With... menu selection, click on it. A listing of applications should appear. Select the appropriate application (Word, Notpad, Adobe, etc.). You should be in business.
