Wow! WordPerfect 12 still gives you the option of working in 5.1 mode? That
is great. I still remember that program fondly, and I guess a lot of other
people do as well, for them to keep that option for so many years.

Dear Laura Ann,
When I originally saved The Tale of Genji as an rtf file somehow I made it as
a Wordpad file apparently as I had to put it somewhere. l also, I now
discover, have it in Word Perfect 12 as compatible with Word as a read only
but I can edit it if I change the name. Okay. Now I want to have it as
OpenBook and and to edit there. Can you help me or have I completely muddied
the water. The wordpad rtf Genji is edit-able but when I tried to move it to
Openbook it coverted back to wordpad or was read-only in O-B. All this
confusion is making my head spin.
Before I started as a volunteer with Bookshare I considered myself a fairly
reasonable, educable teacher of writing which means I helped students edit
their work. Now If I can edit a freshman's confusion I really should be able
to validate a copy of a published masterwork with the original in my lap but .
. . .
Can you help me out of this mess. Since I am available most of the time but I
do not want you to be stuck with the phone bill for the telephone call if you
will tell me when to call you - edt or cdt - I will be delighted to call you.
Especially since the print size is no longer a problem if you have the solution
to the conversion all will be well.
OOPS - I don't know if it is an added problem but once in WordPerfect 12 I
get to choose between Word Perfect Mode, WordPerfect Classic Mode (5.1),
Microsoft Word Mode, and Word Perfect Legal Mode. I have always chosen
Microsoft Word Mode (I am not certain why) but with and, I believe all 4 of
them there is a period when it undergoes "conversion". I don't know how
relevant to my coversion to Openbook this is but I cannot open the file without
making a choice. [coverting from one program to another seems almost more
complicated as coverting from one religion to another]. I am beginning to feel
like a "bloomin' idjut".
Yours truly,
Amy

I sent you a note asking what the openbook folder was - I am more than a
little slow today and am running on too many days of too little sleep [and if
Tybalt doesn't let me sleep I am going to read 1000 uses for a Dead Cat]. I
know assume that you are talking about the file categey in OpenBook. Thank
you. I will try it as soon as I get at least a nap. As you can see the date I
am slowly catching up on mail starting with the newest0 If nothing before, and
if there is something on tv I really want to see, I will probably fall asleep
during whatever it is and wake up in time to be awake all night. That is why I
usually answer mail in the early am. I'll let you know how it goes.
Thanks,
Amy
