Thanks Guys

My handwriting is not the best and I wanted to send a NEAT copy to the
office . To use the solutions you've given to my question would probally take
twice as long as useing a pen. I must agree with you all, it's not realy
worth the effort, is it?

You have given me 'food for thought' though, and I intend to fully explore
the training/assistance pages.

Thanks again......

I can think of 2 other work-arounds for this : 1) Create your own "Word
document" (i.e., a duplicate) of the document that was emailed to you, in
Word, then save it so that you can use it either as a template or as a copy
of the original.
2) Open the jpg document in a drawing program (i.e., CorelDRAW) and then use
the text feature to insert your text in the appropriate places. The
downside; you will then be printing a "picture" which will take some time.
(I'm not sure it's worth the effort, though).

Thanks JR

Of course it's a jpg, why didn't I think of that. Oh well, suppose I'll
just
have to suffer writers cramp for a while longer.

Just because you saved it as a "Word" file, does NOT make it a word
file.
It may very well be a jpg that you have to print out and fill in
manually.
A disgrace in our "paperless" society. wink

I am a complete novice to Word so please bear with me on this question.

Each month I have to fill out an expenses form.This form was sent to
my
home
PC via EMail. I saved it as a word doc with the intention of filling
it in
each month by typing. No such luck, what am I doing wrong? Or is it a
case
that it can't be done?

Another thicko question - can I convert it to excel?

Please be gentle with your replies,
