Nonnie, please don't take offense but I think the problem is more with you being a novice than with Wordperfect. I say that based on a couple clues you give me in your post. One thing is WordPerfect will accept any universal graphics format. Those do not include graphics generated in program-specific formats like Print Shop or Master Prints and other such programs. Universal formats include bmp, jpg, tif, wmf, eps, pcx, png, and there are many others, but these are the most common. WordPerfect will accept all of these and most (if not all) of the others. And, of course, it accepts its own format wpg. To find out what it will accept, go to Insert Picture as if you are going to insert one. Click on the Files of Type arrow at the bottom and scroll to see what all is in there. Files of any other type will not be compatible, which means you might have to tell it to accept more if it isn't already programmed to do that. This is part of setup and is located on your WordPerfect installation disk. Concerning the article you are trying to put into your document, I don't know what that is. Is it type-written words or is it a graphic image? Is it a WordPerfect document? A Word document? A document created in some other program? Or a graphic clip that someone sent you? And how are you trying to insert it? If it is type written, is it possible to copy and paste it in? Please give a little more information? Increasing memory, as Owbist suggested, is always a good. I do know Word is the more popular word processing program used these days, but WordPerfect is also powerful and nothing snuff at LOL. I can understand the documents you receive from people are usually written in Word and having Word will make like a lot easier for you. So, to answer your question, yes you can install and run Word without having to uninstall WordPerfect. Installing Word is simple enough. The installation Wizard will walk you through it. You just follow the instructions on the screen and answer the questions it asks. You may want to instruct submissions to limit file types and size. If I were you, I'd make that only bmp formats because they don't blur or distort as readily as jpg formatted images. Also, people will send 10mg files because they don't know any better. You may want to tell them to limit file size to 1mg or 2 or 3 so you are able to manage the size and functionability of your newsletter pages(s). If you ever have to take your newsletter to a service bureau for printing, they will require jpg images only, so you will need to know that when instructing submissions.

I think I solved my own problem. I went back to Microsoft Word, and pushed open. Then I can change or add.

wow, that's pretty interesting. A day to play the next word. That would be too slow for me but I used to play Scrabble on Pogo and when I tried playing other users and they would get irritated, snap, even log out if you spent, like, a minute thinking, lol. I was even told to hurry up or don't play. I haven't heard of Word so maybe I'll try that. Anytime I try to play Scrabble, Java warns that the software requires full access to my computer, so I don't want to use that software anymore anyway.

"Ramp up"? At the back of a flat-bed trailer, often called a "float", there are a couple of tubes at each side of the back, and two ramps, 6 - 8' long, with a tube at each side of one end of each, and two long bolts going through each set of those four tubes to attach the two ramps to each side of the back of the trailer. Swing the ramps up from the trailer and over, letting them drop to the ground. Then drive your tractor with the front end loader and a bucket on the back up the ramps on to the trailer. Then swing the ramps back up and over, to lie on the trailer just behind the tractor. My landlord the sod farmer does that every few days, to help lay the sod beside the houses that the builders are putting up. They have things like that at the back of the big transport aircraft, to drive heavy equipment up into them. It's usually used with regard to a project that's been operating on a small scale and is being increased. Disturbing word? Incredible!! Along with some that you've mentioned: "myself" one of the main ones. "A million and a half people evacuated ...". How do you evacuate half a person? And if you're evacuating a million ... is the extra half one really that important? " ... as of yet ...", used by newscasters, etc. ole joyful
