Hi, Victor. I've heard of word perfect but am not really familiar with it. When I was first learning to use a computer, I used a program called word talk. I didn't know about unprotected documents but if it's okay, I'd like to ask another list I'm on about this. I used to keep a diary too but I got lazy and didn't keep up with it (smile). Rosemarie
