I just discovered by accident that if you're saving a Word document (recipe), hit F12 and the last folder you saved to comes up instantly. I didn't know! -- Forget the health food. I need all the preservatives I can get. |

I usually save a .doc via "save as", but hit F12 by accident and my recipe file flew open. I checked it out and by golly you can skip "save as". You have to navigate the tree on your first save though. > Mine always end up in the Documents folder and then I have to > sort through all the other stuff in there. You save them in My Documents? Do you know how to create a folder with subfolders? If you don't want to plop it onto your C drive, you can put it on your desktop. I can help you with that the next time I see you in chat, here or by email, if you'd like to know how. -- Forget the health food. I need all the preservatives I can get. |

For me it's just easier seeing them right there and not saved to my C drive. But I guess whatever is convenient is best for that person. Having the folders is a nice feature. |

Unless one has a seriously non-standard windoze install, both "My Documents" and "Desktop" are part of one's C drive. So if one doesn't want to 'plop it onto one's C drive', one would better navigate away from predefined things like 'My Documents' or 'Desktop'...... -j |

It's a two night course for beginner computer users. Students fill out a simple evaluation at the end where they are given the opportunity to say how they liked or didn't like the course. One of his first students wrote that the best/coolest thing she learned was how to make folders. Tracy -Chicken wings tonight. Not sure yet how I will make them. Usually I marinate them in a combination of Frank's hot sauce, Italian dressing and touch of soy and bake them until they nearly burnt. It's the way my son likes them. If it's not too hot, I might fry them instead and use this recipe which I have tried once before and really liked. The wings are fried then glazed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=le1uwHm4T4E |

I use Word Perfect which will open and create Word (*.doc) files for me very nicely. I also use Open Office which is free. I need a "grown-up" word processor.

I get my way around fine enough, but trying to teach others, in a classroom?, I don't think I could do that. On the other hand, I am constantly surprised by the number of people "out there" who have no idea how to even read an email and I have always been the person in the office people ask "how do I?" and I am usually able to figure it out. So...I continue to consider it. It might actually be fun. Tracy |

If one is used to WordPerfect, working with Word becomes a prolonged 'it should be able to do this, but where the ^&$@ did they hide that function?' experience and vice versa. That aside, like or dislike for one of the other probably goes back to the philosophy behind them - WordPerfect started out as a no-frills word processor for writing structured content (legalese, manuals etc.) and Word started out as a 'we can make your letter look sooooo pretty, look we can use 17 different fonts in one paragraph' thing to compete with MacWrite. Which functions are 'easy' and which ones are 'there, but you have to look for it' is still a legacy of that difference. -j |

And why brag about text editors? Because with a text editor one can edit a configuration file sitting right at the machine, or over a shaky 2400 baud remote link. Try doing that with a 'word processor'. And because vi is one of the most complete text editors *** kitchen sinks around (besides Emacs that is) - programmable, extensible, supports tag files, with a few scripts it can be turned into a simple IDE that opens the file you need, with the cursor where you need it. And it is available on almost all operating systems: DOS, any Windoze version, OS/2, Linux, Mac, embedded OS's like QNX or VxWorks, you name it. And the controls have been stable for at least 30 years - no need to re-learn using the editor every couple of years because some bright spark decides that a 'ribbon' would be a better way to hide functions or some such. -j |
