If you feel up to it, you could try copying and pasting into a new e-mail. 1) Start your e-mail 2) Open your document with the text you want to send. 3) Copy the text you want to send You can left click (keeping the button down) at the start of the text, drag with the mouse until you have highlighted all the text you want to copy Or you can start the dragging release the mouse button go to the end of the text. Go to the end of the text, hold the shift button down, and left click the mouse. Press control-c or simultaneously Alt E c 4) Go to the e-mail (Alt-tab key is a good way to change screens to another open programme. 5) Paste the text in - press Ctrl-v (or possibly Alt e v) This should not give the library's software any problems Best of Luck Bob B On Sun, 2011-09-11 at 15:48 +0100, Shirley Stokes wrote:To anyone who may be listening out there I recently sent a letter to Bucks County Council re the opening times for the Libraries Reserve stock -at the request of members. After a long interval with no reply, I re-sent it as an email attachment. I have now received a response saying that they cannot open the letter in Open Office format, and could I send it again in a format compatible with Word 2003. I need help to do that. I have tried saving the original letter in what is listed as a Word 2003 XML format, (which seems to be all it offers me) but it wont let me. Any ideas ?
