I am nearly in tears. I spent the entire afternoon trying to get a critically important letter written using the new WindowsXP Word program.

I am willing to admit that I knew very little about Word going in to this project. Altho it exsisted on my old computer, I didn't use it. I have always used Works as my WP.

My oldest son came into the house for a sandwich and he was finally able to get it to do the deed.

I cannot remember the time when I hand one measly letter to show for an afternoon's work.

Can someone give me a recommendation on a good tutorial?

Typewriter? Just kidding. I am so sorry for your traumatic afternoon.

I thought that XP was supposed to have all the lates and greatest features.

Using Win2000, and not yet loading Office, I go to,Programs, then Accessories, then then Word Pad and bang away. It's like using an early version of Word without all the OfficeAssistants, the "did you mean this or that," the suggested spellings and all the crap that I hated.

Go to Start, Programs, Accessories, Word Pad. I hope they left in XP. Let us know how it goes.
