Hello,

I would appreciate some advice if anyone can help, please.

I have a laptop (Toshiba) with Microsoft Works 7 installed.

I use Excel and Powerpoint, but these are not installed on the laptop, I often need to open Excel docs sent to me.

I have heard that Open Ofice is an excellent free programme that will do all that I need, but that I need to be careful when installing which boxes to check re opening docs etc. (Not sure what this means, person that told me did not know either.)

I would appreciate, if possible, any advice re installing this programme and if there is likely to be any conflict with MS Works 7.

Thank you

Church Mouse.
