Hi Max-

Just to clarify, Windows XP is the operating system software that enables
operation of the computer. Windows XP & XP Professional, as explained to
me,
are virtually identical from the end-user standpoint and differ more on
the
networking/technical end. Neither one adds or removes features from the
application software (programs such as Word & Excel).

It sounds like you may have MS Works on your home computer. Although it
does
have word processing it is not the same as Word. Word has far more
features,
even though both run on Windows XP or XP Pro operating systems (as well as
several other versions of Windows OS).

If you do have Word on your home computer, it may be a different version
than what you have at work. My *guess* is that you have either Works or
Word
2000 (unlikely if you 'just bought' the computer as this is an older
version)
at home and Word XP (2002) or Word 2003 at work.

But even if the specifics I'm guessing at are innaccurate, the difference
is
definitely in the word processing software, not the OS. If you post back
with exactly which version of what program you actually have at home,
there
still may be a way to set up a page for bookfold.

I've been using Word at my job over a year, on Windows XP.

We just got a new computer at home with XP, and I went to create
something
in Word. When I went to format the page setup to accomodate the task, I
noticed that the page setup options are not there like they are on the
version at work. I want to do a bookfold document with multiple pages,
and
there is no place to specify this at home. Does this have anything to
do
with the fact that at work we have XP Professional and that the home
p.c.
doesn't have that? I would think that Word would be the same, and that
any
differences would be in the Windows system, not the lowlier word
processing
software -- no?

And then how can I find out how to format my document to do a multi-page
folded booklet, where the pages will appear in the correct sequence, and
double-sided when finished? Or do I really have to sit and
figure/configure
manually how to type it :-(?

TIA,

Max
