Well...choosing "unformatted text" will DEFINITELY remove the pictures....unformatted means no formatting...to see pictures, you need formatting You mean Windows XP when you say WXP? Yes, Word 97 works on Windows XP. But, while you are upgrading, I would suggest you upgrade Word....I think Office 97 is just way out of date...so much has been improved....and you don't need to spend the money on Office XP, Office 2000 is perfectly adequate and you can find it cheap now.

Web Page may the wrong definition. Ex: this AM I went to the About.com/Barbecue Site and copied a few recipes, within the site, by highlighting text and the drawings/photos. Hit Ctrl/c, went to word doc & chose edit/paste special, unformatted text. No drawings/photos but got all text. Sometime the drawings/photos are critical to the text document but I never get it. I think, in my ignorance, there must be a way. Same results by selecting Ctrl/v but hard to work with document. BTW, if I upgrade to WXP will WO97 work? ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?Subject=unsubscribe Or, visit the group's homepage and use the dropdown menu.
