Hi Roger,
Oh, man, you're not crazy. Computers are. But you seem to be
getting along all right. There are some things that Word has such as a
spell checker that might be helpful, but you seem to be doing all right with
Wordpad. And I know that it isn't destroying page breaks because your first
book was my submission. I downloaded it and checked. They look fine. I'd
hazard a guess that for now, you're fine with wordpad. I am not the final
word by any means, but I'd hate to see you give up on volunteering
unnecessarily. So, unless you try to validate a book that doesn't have page
breaks, you seem good to go as you are. If you can acquire a copy of
Microsoft Word, that would be great, and would increase some of your options
for things that you can do easily. But if not, I think you can probably
carry on as you have been.
Happy validating!
Mayrie

Okay, I have now had a pair of working eyes check my backup disks and as I
was almost certain of it was not there. Well, I felt like I was getting
along okay with Word Pad, but now I suppose I have to, he said while
muttering repeatedly I am not crazy; I am not crazy. In a message dated

I have gone through all of them and it is not there. Now I know I'm
not crazy. At least I think I know I'm not crazy. I clearly remember seeing
Word in my list of programs at some time, but I never used it or even opened
it. The only thing I can think of that might have happened to it is that
some time back I had to send the computer back to Gateway in Texas for
repair. While it was there they reformatted the hard drive which means that
when I got it back I had to reinstall everything. Now, I just took out my
stack of backup disks and reinstalled all of them. I suppose that if a
program I never used was missing I might not have noticed. I still have not
had someone look through my backup disks for me to see if it is there, but
somehow I doubt that it is. I know that I did not imagine I saw it in my
list of programs. At least I think I did not imagine it. I will let you know
when I check my backups. In a message dated 7/20/2008 10:17:46 P.M. Pacific

I guess the question is: is word there and you can't find
it? or is word not there. {I love a mystery.}
There are a couple of ways you could use to see if you can
find word.
The first method is to press windows key+m to take you to
your desktop. Then press the letter m until you hear the same thing twice
[which means you wrapped around] or you hear microsoft word [which means you
owe me a beer (jk)].
The second method is to look in your start menu.
Press the windows key to bring up the start menu.
Press the letter p until you hear "all programs".
Press the right arrow to open the all programs menu.
Press m until you wrap around (see above for clarification
on wrapping around), or you hear "microsoft".
If you hear microsoft, press right arrow on that.
Press up arrow once and you should hear "microsoft word" in
which case you still owe me a beer.
At least these methods work on my computer, some of the
time.
Can you tell I'm thirsty?
Bob

It worked. The page break is back. Now I have to
figure out what happened to my Microsoft Word. I was just about to switch
over to it because I thought you guys could give me better advice if I was
using it, but it is not there. In a message dated 7/20/2008 8:26:55 P.M.

Hi Roger!
I was talking to my in-house computer
geeky sweetie and he had a
good idea for you to try with your file open
in wordpad that needs a page
break inserted. Here's what you can try.
Find an existing page break
Put your cursor on it.
Select that character by pressing shift plus
right-arrow (that's hold down
the shift key and pressing the right-arrow).
Press Control c (Hold down the control key
and pres the letter c) to copy
that character to the clipboard.
Move to the place in your file where you
need to reinsert the page break
that you inadvertently deleted
When in the proper place in the document,
press control v to paste the page
break character into that spot.
I don't know if that will work, but it's an
alternative to using Word, if
that is still too daunting.
Good luck!
