The incidence of trophy wins by 'found' roses during the period 2001 to 2004 represented some 22 trophies among the polyantha, Climbing and OGR classes, equaling a percentage near one-third of one percent of all winsin those classes. At the time of the announcement of the ineglibility of 'found' roses for ARS classes, a list of some 395 'found' roses at the San Jose Rose Garden (and other places) was circulated among some of the heritage people. There would seem to be some pressure to identify roses frequently in competition and commerce, such as 'Maggie' or 'Martha Gonzales.' There would be very little pressure to make eligible again specimens rare in either competition or commerce. I think part of the problem in this area has been that explanations of actions taken tend to have been post hoc to the rose public rather than proactive. Of course, identifying and communicating with that public may be more difficult than anticipated. JD

If you are installing Office 2007 to replace Office 2003, then 2007 generally will allow you to perform an upgrade, and I have yet to have this fail (done many). Be sure your o/s is up-to-date and malware free. On installation select upgrade and respond to the questions. Select "Customize" and then on the pulldowns select "Run all from my computer" or at some point in the future you will be prompted for the media to install whatever is missing. Don't forget the updates after the installation, there are many.

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.

Some MS Office Home and Student versions allow you to install them on more than one computer. Others do not. If you have a version that has already been installed on the allowed number of computers you cannot install it on another. Word 2010 isn't that different from 2007. You should get used to it pretty soon. I use both on different computers along with word 97 on another with no problem. Any particular feature of word 2010 you don't like?
