That's why it's best in MS Works, depending on the version, to save text files as rtf, doc or text. If you had MS Works on your old computer, you most likely have a disc. You may not think you have MS Works, because it usually resides on a disk labeled MS Word. If you don't have the disk, perhaps a friend has it, since so many computers were shipped with MS Works.
