Has no one offered that he save his document in RTF format? Rich Text Format is available in both word and word perfect, and can easily be opened by both programs regardless of the versions of said programs. <BR/><BR/>This only works however if the document that they are wanting to work on has no formatting what-so-ever as saving it as a RTF eliminates all formating from the document.<BR/><BR/>Not that we want to be helpful to your Mr. Perfect, but try it and if it works for his situation thank me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096118.post-66213050916356829262008-01-26T06:27:00.000-05:002008-01-26T06:27:00.000-05:00You can download "abandonware" versions of old Wor...You can download "abandonware" versions of old WordPerfect that fit on a floppy disk. I'm not sure of the legalities of the liberry doing it for Mr. Perfect but maybe a little birdy could give Mr. Perfect a copy saved to a floppy. He could run the program from the same disk where he saves his documents.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096118.post-85331354987436055002008-01-19T16:08:00.000-05:002008-01-19T16:08:00.000-05:00Juice, I have started reding your blog to my husba...Juice, I have started reding your blog to my husband and sending links to my comrade coworkers. I's strange how similar liberry patrons are around the world. We have similar characters in our library and your posts make my day better. We are "building" soon and have hired new people and everything. just wanted to let you know other library employees appreciate what you do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096118.post-81899681671225833032008-01-18T23:13:00.000-05:002008-01-18T23:13:00.000-05:00You inspired a couple employees from a community c...You inspired a couple employees from a community college library to start a blog about their own library experiences!circulation monkeyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01675067890247029465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096118.post-58487409446224464522008-01-18T21:34:00.000-05:002008-01-18T21:34:00.000-05:00We woke up to snow and poor road conditions today,...We woke up to snow and poor road conditions today, too. It didn't keep more than 50 seniors from attending our library's Seniors' Conversation Club this afternoon. The attraction: a speaker presenting a slide show on his trip to Africa.
