When I post from Outlook, using my other email address (emailshere@xxxxxxxxxx -- I'm signed on now with Internet Express and using AOL with TCP-IP), I get this message: ---------- "Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients. Subject: Test of No Rich Text Sent: 09/23/02 1:41 PM The following recipient(s) could not be reached: Office Mailing List (E-mail) on 09/23/02 1:41 PM" ---------- <<Since 2002 is now on the market, I assume you could find 2000 for a decent price.>> Ok, I like the sound of "decent price" -- I'll look for it. << Or, if you can't, I would recommend you try Outlook Express instead of Outlook 97...that's a free part of Internet Explorer and even that is better than Outlook 97, I'm sorry to say.>> Don't be sorry. I've already learned a lot from you and this list. The copy of Office I have came "free" with the first pc we bought for our daughter almost 10 years ago. She never registered it, so when I bought my current pc 3 years ago, I just went ahead and installed that old disk and registered it in my name (been using Word and Excel with no problems). So no money has been spent. I don't mind biting the bullet now and buying what I need to buy. <<I'm off to work now....see y'all later!! >> Thanks again and have a smooth day.
