Dear James:
I just received your reply to some of my questions. Just before i
shut down my system for dinner, I have found the location for the icons
and produced them from the program listing. It was not as easy as from
the start menu, but it's done now. I have noticed that you have them
under the start menu when i was looking for the reason why there is
still no spell check for Outlook Express. I quess the program just not
linking up with outlook express like Microsoft Word or Corel Write does.
Exactly right.
Can i write emails through Open Office Write and send them as emails
through Outlook Express? Or you have your own equivalent in your program?
You can send emails from OpenOffice.org using almost any email program,
including Outlook express. In OpenOffice.org Writer go to Tools ->
Options -> OpenOffice.org Writer -> Mail Merge E-mail. You will need to
fill in the box that appears to match your Email settings under Windows.
This is sometimes difficult. But you can’t hurt anything by trying
things to see if with it to see if it works. You may need to get someone
to help you by walking you through it.
My next question is, do you have a program equivalent to Microsoft
Power Point as part of of your suite of programs. My friend is getting a
lot of pictures as attachments to emails and can not open them without
Power Point. If you have, than i will download your program on his
computer too and install it. This was a question in my email to you but
i did not get a reply to the question.
OpenOffice.org contains the submodule “Impress” which largely duplicates
Powerpoint and will allow you to read and edit Powerpoint files,
except, currently, for the new MS Office 2007 format. The ability to
handle the new MS Office formats is expected to be handled later this year.
Than he could also use your
writer to send emails, but he must have a spell checker too, because he
don't like sending emails with errors. He does have Microsoft Word,
while i don't.
You or he might try downloading Thunderbird from
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/. Thunderbird is a free
open-source mailer program used by many people and it contains its own
dictionary.
