Hi,
Just got a new laptop - primarily for wordprocessing, editing, scanning, etc. Stupidly, I didn't bother to doublecheck what WP software is preinstalled prior to purchasing the Laptop (Toshiba) - only to find that WORD isn't available - though there's MS Works WordProcessor; couldn't spot any difference between MS Works WP and MS WORD. What worries me - is that document files are saved on WP as .wps, while the doc files on my old laptop were saved on WORD as .doc files. I plan to transfer the data files, including .doc files to the new laptop. Would the .doc files become incompatible/inoperable if edited/saved under MS Works WP??
I'm aware that if I want WORD Program, I'd have to buy & install MS Office which has other programs which I dont want, such as Access, Database, Excel. Is there anyway of downloading WORD from the Internet?
Thanks,
Allendog
