Nope, I don't , have most of them in my head, as I use very few, mostly crochet things, and have used the same ones for years. I rather enjoyed getting rid of so many favs the last computer change I had, didn't use them anyway, and seemed to be like ivy climbing on a house, useless, and not needed. So, I started fresh again, and have never looked back. It is not the end of the world, at least for me, and further, what fun snooping around trying to find again. What I really don't want to lose, in patterns, etc., I already have hard copies of them. I sure do thank you for your nudge and helping me, hotlinks in a pdf, perhaps won't even be in existence anymore by the time I get around to using them, seems to be a lot of dead ends for lots of links.

Nonnie, please don't take offense but I think the problem is more with you being a novice than with Wordperfect. I say that based on a couple clues you give me in your post. One thing is WordPerfect will accept any universal graphics format. Those do not include graphics generated in program-specific formats like Print Shop or Master Prints and other such programs. Universal formats include bmp, jpg, tif, wmf, eps, pcx, png, and there are many others, but these are the most common. WordPerfect will accept all of these and most (if not all) of the others. And, of course, it accepts its own format wpg. To find out what it will accept, go to Insert Picture as if you are going to insert one. Click on the Files of Type arrow at the bottom and scroll to see what all is in there. Files of any other type will not be compatible, which means you might have to tell it to accept more if it isn't already programmed to do that. This is part of setup and is located on your WordPerfect installation disk. Concerning the article you are trying to put into your document, I don't know what that is. Is it type-written words or is it a graphic image? Is it a WordPerfect document? A Word document? A document created in some other program? Or a graphic clip that someone sent you? And how are you trying to insert it? If it is type written, is it possible to copy and paste it in? Please give a little more information? Increasing memory, as Owbist suggested, is always a good. I do know Word is the more popular word processing program used these days, but WordPerfect is also powerful and nothing snuff at LOL. I can understand the documents you receive from people are usually written in Word and having Word will make like a lot easier for you. So, to answer your question, yes you can install and run Word without having to uninstall WordPerfect. Installing Word is simple enough. The installation Wizard will walk you through it. You just follow the instructions on the screen and answer the questions it asks. You may want to instruct submissions to limit file types and size. If I were you, I'd make that only bmp formats because they don't blur or distort as readily as jpg formatted images. Also, people will send 10mg files because they don't know any better. You may want to tell them to limit file size to 1mg or 2 or 3 so you are able to manage the size and functionability of your newsletter pages(s). If you ever have to take your newsletter to a service bureau for printing, they will require jpg images only, so you will need to know that when instructing submissions.

I used ravencajun website and than I tried my scanner. If I scan a picture or a file and scan them as a Document my computer gives me the option to save as a pdf file. I have a HP 3 in 1 printer, scanner, copier. cg

There is a huge amount of free e-book material available on the WWW. File types range from epub to zip and everything between. I use the features available in CALIBRE to convert to an epub file (Nook Color), download the metadata and select the best cover, view the book and then if all ok download it to my Nook. Calibre can add books to my Nook or delete books from it. I usually have only 4 books on the Nook and the rest stored on my PC or on DVD's; about 8 gigabytes of books, i.e. thousands of books. For me CALIBRE is an essential program.
