[bcab] conflicts between software

Hello folks,

I hope this is not regarded as off topic, because it is a request for
information to help someone who does not use a screen reader.

My friend has a machine running xp and uses Works, because that is the wp he
has used for ages, and doesn't want to re-save all his historic files.

His wife has recently taken on some work and has been provided with Office
2007.  It is claimed that this is now affecting the use of Works, by
changing the suffix on files saved by Works to a doc suffix, which Works
cannot then pick up.

Does anyone know whether there is any absolute conflict between this set of
software and whether there is anything which can be done.

I don't propose to be a go-between if this is going to get protracted, so an
indication as to whether you would consider dealing with this direct with my
friend would be helpful.

Thanks,

Richard

Hi Clive,

I've given up using Family Tree Maker  with Supernova which is my present
access software, as there are no dolphin maps for FAMILY TREE MAKER  and
I
don't want to struggle, or have to buy Jaws just for one package.

BTW, I can send you off list a file containing some shortcut keystrokes
for
Family Tree Maker when used with Jaws if you like
