Hi everyone
I have office xp pro with front page and it works fine i think ,i also have
works word processor.
But when i use word (xp) and save it to my doc's it turns into word pad and
has a lot of different symbols before the actual letter what i have written.
How do i get to open in word (xp) i have tryed the open with bit but can
find word in the list or the browse bit.
I do have all the updates for the office xp.
Please keep it simple Thank you Niall
