Hi Snidely. In fact, other apps open with no problem. It did no come to my mind, that this indicates OS is not rather the cause. Today ,still searching for an answer I found, right- clicking ' Mswkscal.wcd ' that the files is open with Internet Explorer,what astonished me, as the file extension 'wcd' opens with Microsoft Works by default.. accordingly I am trying to change file association with right program. I keep selecting Microsoft Works with no awaited result. It can be change to any program but Microsoft Works. I know,I got obsessive. Must stop it. thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. Regards. Hala.

Oakley, Of course! I get a special thrill at this time of year because every store sells cheap, cheap, cheap spiral notebooks for back to school. All in glorious colors and rarely cost more than 25-35 cents each! None too fat that I get bored with them before filling them. I buy stacks of them. Nothing makes me feel that I can handle the days ahead like a brand new notebook that sort of creaks the first time you open it. No hint of the oppression of too many uncompleted projects, too little time or money or energy or indecision about where to start. The starting point is obviously on the first page! I never toss a significant list in the notebooks (toss only little ones like a few things needed from the grocery store type lists -those are invariably scribbled on empty envelopes and then recycled). I think my lists in the spiral books are sort like daytimers for the past (stuff crossed off and dated) or the future, to do items. I write my excuses for not doing things in too, sometimes, i.e. Hurricane Irene blew in or had to go ER because cat bit me, etc., so they sort of function as a diary, too. I used the same notebooks for taking notes (and writing lists of intended questions beforehand) when I went with my DH to his zillions of medical appointments. Now that he is better, the books will revert to being more about my own goals and ideas. L.

Android Samsung Mesmirize (Fascinate on other carriers) I love it! Got the wife one first as her old phone was dying and even though she is not the most techy (that's my job) she had it all figured out before I even got mine the following week. It looks as sleek as the iPhone, but has several advantages in my book. 1) Has an microSD slot. Comes with a free 16gig card. If I need more, instead of having to buy a new phone, aka iPhone, I can just swap out to the next size of card. 2) Although battery life is great, it is a removable battery, so if you do use it a lot and have battery life issues, you can swap out a spare. I will give the iPhone credit for the front camera, but that only works in wi-fi zones right now, so I don't consider that a deal breaker. Any app you can find for the iPhone, you can find for the Android. Wish I had the Evo, as it has HDMI out, but the coverage in my area for the carrier is not good. I was thinking about the iPhone for a while, but where I live (Iowa) AT&T's 3G coverage only exists in 4 cities, everywhere else is practically dial-up speeds when surfing. That prompted me to stay with USCellular as they switched to 3G to almost the entire state last May. For me, speed and coverage was the biggest factors. If the iPhone would have been available on USCellular last year, I might have changed my mind. Best feature right now is my desk cradle. I have it beside my bed, and have replaced the alarm clock with it. I can wake up and see the current weather as well as the time. Just my 2 cents worth,

Making a phone list was the first thing I ever used Excel for, about ten years ago or more. I quickly discovered instead of listing name first to list the ten digit phone number since that column will always be the same size. And it is easy to keep alphabetized since a new entry can be inserted anywhere. I've never re-typed the list once. Just add or delete to the original. I print copies and three hole punch to put into a folder by our phone. Shrunk another copy to half size for the glove compartment of my car. At some point I started using the tabs at the bottom of the page to make new pages for: medical, school #'s, stores & restaurants, car info (insurance & parts & mechanics) and at least 5 or 6 more catagories. It is probably the most useful thing (even though it is fairly simple) I've ever done on the computer. The other very successful Excel file I started ten years ago was for medical appointments. I made a few columns that I fill in each time I schedule and complete an appointment. When I get the Explanation of Benefits in the mail weeks later and wonder what THAT was for I can check my own notes, in laymans terms. I also cross reference if I had a copay or needed some kind of follow up. It has helped me at the end of the year when I've had to claim Flexible Spending Account money. I have a medical condition so it has also been helpful to track my meds. The most helpful book I ever read on organization discouraged the use of PDA's. One of the common negatives that people fed back to her was the inevitable loss of data through a dead battery or "accident". I would never trust my dayplanner, medical history or address book to a PDA. At least on Excel you can have a hard copy printed out. I also have a copy on a flash drive. And I'm not that computer saavy!
