OK - with limited fonts and no color to type in this is not as user friendly as it could be...
I was already familiar with Open Office as my son (my techie helper) installed that on my personal laptop 5 years ago and disregarded the microsoft products that came with my computer... so when I do something at home that is what I use... He also installed Mozilla Firefox as my browser and email set up.... as long as it works easily I don't care what it is!!
Google Docs says that I can move this to my blog... Pending my ablility to do this is here!! so let's see if it is truly easy!
