Office / Word 97

[Gina Stevenson]

Now I'm really wanting to just cry! Knowing that won't do any good, and feeling beyond that, anyway, I guess, I haven't.

Since that crash, and finding that I'll have to do some re-editing, I also learned, in hunting around in my computer, that the WORD 97 (part of Office) that survived the first crash, suddenly was nowhere to be seen after the 2nd crash!! I just cannot do a book format in WordPad, or NotePad.

Guess, since I put it on a year ago, and then put it away somewhere TOO GOOD to find it -- where it wouldn't get lost amid "stuff" here -- it got hidden too well. Cannot find Office CD, but do need to get the "show back on the road" desperately! Is there anyone who has Office/Word 97 yet, and can send me at least the WORD 97 part of it as an attachment via email?

I'll give another -- other than Yahoo -- address, since some things have come through there lately not entirely intact. It's:

composer729@AIM.com

Thanks so much for any help. Cannot believe it both disappeared, and that I can't find the Office 97 CD, either. :o(

Thanks again!

HOPE someone can send this quickly ................. pressed for time. This book I'm editing was to be to them before September 30, but they gave us more time, due to my back having been giving me fits for a couple of months.

NOW, here it is october, and then my computer crashes 2x, and I cannot find my old OFFICE / MS WORD 97 CD. Please, if someone is still using anything halfway old like this (works fine when it's actually there!), send me a copy via email. Again, it's composer729@AIM.com

THANK!!

Hi Gina,

Short of trying to send you MS Office 97, you might try http://www.openoffice.org
It's a set of office programs; word processing, spreadsheet, database, and presentation program. It will read and write Word files. And it's free!
Just download and install. I believe it's available for Windows, MacIntosh and Linux platforms.
The presentation program will do most PowerPoint stuff. The spreadsheet is compatible with Excel. The database won't open Access files, however.

COOL! Had no idea ... something that isn't MS will read WORD files so one can do them in it, eh? UNREAL! Thanks! I sure hope it DL's OK, and works! ;)

LATER: Oops! I see it says it is something like 92-93 MB big! 'Found a DL manager again (lost a lot in the 2nd crash), that occurred before I could get both AVG & ZoneAlarm DL'd for it), got it going, but it's going slowly enough that -- if it doesn't fix those red-X'd glitches where it couldn't find something, or file wasn't good, then we're not sure how it'll come out, either, in case those are in the WP part of the whole. :(

Going slowly enough, too, that I did some math, and it now would take something like 12-15 hrs to DL the whole thing on dial-up. THANK GOD someone wrote to me about having a CD to send instead. ;)

Gina! Are you slowly turning Canadian. I noticed you used OUR word, "Eh" :fav18

Years ago when I lived on the east side of Michigan (on the west side now), I went to Windsor a lot ... an awful lot ... customs folks start recognizing you when you do that. ;)

Anyway, guess I picked it up back then and never lost it. it's a good add-on for emphasis ... asking for an answer ... or just having more to say for someone a mite verbose, eh? HA! :basic05
