Default Can I use a friend's computer out of town and connect to mycom

Thank you, Jay for your information. I have Window XP Home Edition. I am a
retired Executive Secretary who took computer courses when DOS was used to
manage Computers and learned Word Perfect. I don't pretend to be an expert.
I have a very ill relative and need to be with her many miles from home.
Hence my question. I don't only use the internet and email I use MS Word for
many of my tasks. Feel free to try and explain this if you wish. I always
think it's better to be polite and help if one can.
Thank you. Regards,
Fern Ruth

If your computer uses the Windows XP Professional operating system,
you can set up Remote Desktop, a program that lets you control your
computer from somewhere else. But even if you have the necessary
software, I don't think you'll be able to set it up with what's
obviously a minimal understanding of computers.

By the way, what in the world does this question have to do with
Microsoft Word documents, the topic of this newsgroup??
