So now you know, I'm a computer idiot. I have a nice new Dell Latitude D830 with XP instead of Vista. Far more computer than I need. Firefox3 keeps offering itself free. Is it a good thing? Should I download? Or will it glitch up my XP?
I only use Word, surf a little, and collect my email.
And I basically hate the new Word too. All I want to do is format manuscript pages easily, but Microsoft wants to make me read 23439 pages of gobbledygook to figure out how to get the thing to stop skipping spaces between paragraphs and obliterating the headers I want. (It's like being required to read the entire repair manual to find the window washer on my car. I don't want to know how it works. I just want to know which button to push.)
Any advice on cutting through the considerable Word krep appreciated too.

Click the modify button while it's on ‘normal’. Choose your font face, your size from the drop down menus, leave ‘automatic’ alone, push the fifth button over on the justify/spacing line (three lines right next to each other), then the icon with the paragraphs that have the blue arrows facing each other (9th icon over) until the paragraph spacing goes to nothing (should be three clicks).
Choose ‘new documents based on this template’ to save the changes for new documents. And your line spacing issues will be gone for a very long time. If you've further questions, please ping me.
