Thanks Rod, Eugene Downloaded the program on the Mac and transferred the .exe program (by flash drive) onto a Vista laptop (rarely gets used and is not connected to the internet), program set-up worked, program opened, just like a normal word processor, but would not open the file, Error message appeared on the desktop: Run-time error, Component MSWINSCK.OCX or one of its dependencies not correctly registered. I now seem to be facing the world of registry cleaning...
I think I might forget it.
