    Dear PCM

    I now have three friends who have Works. I have M/S Office 2003. When we send attachments to each other we can't open them. Is there anyway to overcome this?

    your friends have Works, and only you have Office ...yes!

    they will need office if you want them to open attachments that have been created using office....what office program are you referring too?

    Word, excel, publisher, powerpoint, access......?

    here is a program that is free to all, that can be used for word,spreadsheet etc. Open Office free to use and download here.

    Click on the open office logo and download it is absolutly free and esy to use.

    with regards to works i am sure that there is a way to import works into say Word and it should open.

    That looks interesting PCM so decided to download.
    Then decided it would have to wait awhile
    as download time is 4hrs.22mins! [​IMG]
    Does it take that long because I have dial-up?

    (Will probably let it download while I am out shopping).
