Hi Jerry and all. Agreed, XP is the most stable platform.  I was
actually talking about Office 2007 which we have running on XP. Office
2007 has done away with all pull down menus entirely and has what they
call a "ribbon" across the top of either Word, Excel, Powerpoint etc.

Finding ANYTHING is virtually impossible. Stay with Office 2003 if you
want to keep your sanity.

Microsoft will let you preview Office 2007--if you ever want to feel
good about your computer and computer skills--just download that!

Hi all. We use the full version of Outlook. Full Outlook also opens a
new window when you reply. In the 2007 version the choice of HTML or
plain text is under Options, Plain text.  (Do not upgrade to Office 2007
unless you HAVE to--what a disaster, but that's not fruit-related and I
will keep off of my soapbox :)) 

In the 2003 Outlook, I remember the choice being obvious, when you hit
reply--the choice is right above the subject line--no pull down menus
needed.

Barbara

If upgrading may I suggest going directly to XP or Mac. I've used
Windows 
2003, 2007 and now XP. XP is much much more reliable, that is, it
doesn't lock up 
nearly as much as the pervious Windows versions. 

DO NOT UP GRADE TO MS VISTA! I did and returned it and the computer to
the 
point of purchase after using it several days. Non Microsoft programs
didn't run 
100% and some not at all, Microsoft of course, didn't have patches to
support 
them. Bill Gates wrote Vista to block his competition from being used on
his 
system.   

My soap box!

Jerry
