Because I am constantly tempted to use Outlook and because this laptop didn't come with Office I have removed it please, does anybody use Microsoft Works and find it adequate? Which part should I use to read documents saved in word and, if I save something using Microsoft Works which format should I save in and will someone using Word be able to open an attachment I send them? i know there are tips on "getting started" and I will look I just thought someone might be able to tell me. It seems daft to me that the computers these days don't come with Microsoft Word that's available only in Office isn't it or can I get it somewhere else? Surely there must be a viable alternative.
