How do I type a letter in a formal format
Pinklady,
You've got a mighty long wish list. I'd suggest getting some Dummies books on some of the programs you've mentioned. I can tell you that there are no books available for PC Stitch and Pattern Maker because I've used both. I no longer have PM but I do have PC Stitch. Play with the program - it's not difficult. That advice actually does for all of the programs. If you don't actually play with them and see what happens if you (fill in the blank), you will never learn. And no, you can't use the clipart in a cross-stitch design to sell. You may use to on promotional products tho. My previous comment about using Notepad was because you asked why a computer can't be more like a typewriter. Notepad will do what a typewriter does - allow you to type with VERY LITTLE formatting. You can make capital letters and use the tab key. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ARGH!! I'm lying! When did Notepad start to allow you to change the font? I thought that was the point of Notepad - not much you could do to "fancy up" a document. Geez - blink and something radically changes. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "pinklady" wrote in message ...

How do I type a letter in a formal format
For learning Word I would recommend starting at Shauna Kelly's site, perhaps
supplemented with one or both of mine and the MVP FAQ (in the signature block below). I would recommend starting with those books though. They are out of print but you should be able to get them through your library. They are very short. Shauna's site is http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/conc...ion/index.html. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
