Bestlawn! I could have asked you over on KT! I had two lines; one I managed to delete, but I've fumbled around so much I cannot remember what I did! Yes, I think the enter/return is what seems to trigger it. When I try to select the line, a thin vertical highlight strip appears on the left above, through, and below the line, but it will not delete. I've spent the last 20-30 minutes trying to figure it out, searching "help." But it's no big problem, I can scroll it down to the blank page and not print that page. And now that I know how to draw lines w/o triggering the other line, I'll be ok. I suppose 2007 is ok when one gets used to it, but it sure takes up a lot of time getting to that point. It has a default of 1.5 spacing, which is not that good for me. Thanks...you're the "best!"

I would install the works before removing the office starter. That way if the works doesn't install you still have the office starter - I would leave them both on if it were me. There's no conflict. There's nothing wrong with tje starter, you're just not used to it. When MS introduced the ribbon they now use is office it confused a lot of people. The word and excel starters are not full-functioned but the work very well and are all most people really need.

I can tell you that Microsoft Office and Open Office are not 100% compatible. Depending on the complexity of the documents you use, you may need to spend some time "converting" them to an Open Office format. You also need to be concerned if you "share" any electronic documents with business associates that use Microsoft Office. Even though Open Office gives you the option of saving in an Microsoft Office, I've noticed some minor differences with documents created in Open Office and later opened in Microsoft Office. Since Open Office is a free download, there's no reason you can't try it and see how it works for you. As an aside, I think you'll find the user agreement for Microsoft Office Home and Student Edition prohibits commercial use. While it is highly unlikely that the Microsoft police will come knocking, it is something you should be aware of.

I use Open Office and love it - it does everything I need, and it's easy! http://download.cnet.com/Apache-OpenOffice/3000-18483_4-10263109.html Here is a link that might be useful: Apache Open Office
