Re: A computer question (Bill Gates not returning my calls)
1. MS Works is a horrid, malformed subset of MS Office that should never have been allowed out of the attic. Always has been, always will be.
2. If you have 64-bit Windows 7, MS Works may have to be loaded in "Windows XP Mode". Trust me when I say that you do not want to start down that path. [To find out what version of Win7 you have, click the Windows start menu (or hit a Windows key on the keyboard), then click 'Computer', then select 'System Properties'. About halfway down the page there will be a 'System' section; look for 'System type:'.]
3. I haven't used openoffice but I know a lot of MS haters who do. With the other recommendations here, it sounds like a reasonable course. I'd almost guarantee that it will be less painful than "Windows XP mode"!
