Do you know anyone who would send you something like that just to see your reaction?

It was more then likely one of my mates having a laugh

Or maybe it was your dad, just so he could annoy you and insist it was a severed body part.

I'm just sorry that I don't have an address ... It's the kind of thing I'd be happy to pull ...

of course it could just be a friend of mine, who would probably forget to put what he was surposed to be sending, into the shoe box

Attachments are never forgotten, ... It's always the fault of the service providers. Well, that's MY story and I will stick to it. So

I had been sent attachments that I couldn't open, before. I don't have word or excel on my computers.

Just last night, I downloaded Open Office on my notebook computer in hopes of not having that problem, again.

Part of my severance pay from the military went in to sending Milady back to college. To get "current" with office practices and procedures. One of the results was the student licenced packages of Office 97 and Corel Suite 8. So far, they are still compatible with anything that finds us.

The notebook came with wordperfect which does everything I need to do, personally (includes a British English spell checker, even). The computers at work use word and excel. The problem was not being able to edit stuff and then email it one way or the other, in addition to having to tell a few people 'can't read that from home, sorry.'.
Open Office is free and says it will open all of the other file types. We'll see how that goes.

I was actually quite pleased with the WordPerfect 12 that came with Milady's new Dell notebook. It's polite on each opening to ask what flavour or format you wish to work in. Very handy.

The notebook is wordperfect 12. The older desktop is wordperfect 10.
Most of my writing projects use the same format, so I set the default view.
