Thank You zep516! I uninstalled Foxit Reader and reinstalled it according to your directions, and that worked, but do you or does anyone out there know how to make Word 2007 my default instead of Works? Thank you again zep516! When I did the PDF test it said I already had Acrobat 9--Thank you! If I only understood what is going on!--sigh...

Ask the other person to save it as a Rich Text Format (RTF) document and send again, then you will be all set.

I have used the free version at times in the past and have found it works well. I'm not a power user (with regard to word processors) so I can't really comment with great detail. (I think one thing that moved me away from Jarte was that when I was trying to paste a rich text document's text into something like, say, Outlook's email client (compose window) it lost all formatting. That may be what is supposed to happen in such cases, but it made Jarte a bit less usable for me at the time.) A good review of Jarte (including helpful user comments) is here.

Mikie, Two suggestions that aren't what you asked for but others might find useful: 1. Freeware PhotoFiltre from http://photofiltre.free.fr/ I used it to edit out imperfections in both of our daughter's wedding photos e.g. confetti right across the groom's eye in the best photo of the day! The freeware version does everything that I have ever needed. It is much easier to master than the big commercial programmes like PhotoShop etc. There is also a shareware version for about $40 (29 euros) with a free trial if you require even more features. It's at their other site: www.photofiltre.com 2. An excellent no nonsense alternative to Picasa: FastStone Viewer. It is fully featured including an editor etc. etc. and is free for home users from: www.faststone.org/FSViewerDetail.htm Here is a link that might be useful: Freeware PhotoFiltre
