    Yes it is. It was taken several years ago, but she still looks pretty much the same. She's 19 years old now.

    C6 and I prefer works over office, as we learned on them and they always feel so much more user friendly to us...so integrated and easy to use.

    I used Corel WordPerfect for many years, and didn't like the switch to MS Word. But I've been using it since around 2000, and I like it alright. The office where I was working switched over around that time, and of course, since I retired I just use what came on my computer, which is Office 2003 currently. I just got an e-mail attachment for one of my many volunteer projects that I thought I couldn't open, until I tried. Duh!

    C6 prefers Publisher, which is on ventilator now. I use Word. She hates Word, as she is more graphics intensive. Yet, we begrudgingly move forward....LOL

    At some point, so many of these archived documents will not be usable because of the format modifications. I can imagine in the thousand year future, that anthropologists will try to decipher the "dead" languages of the 90's, much like we try to decipher pre-Masoretic Hebrew or Aramaic.

    I love Publisher. I use it for my monthly newsletters, and I have put together lots of brochures and booklets with it. Once you get used to working with text boxes, it makes much more sense than typing and formatting in Word. I do use Word for regular documents, like letters and reports, and I use Excel where appropriate.

    And I know what you mean about "dead languages." People send me all sorts of attachments, in various formats, and it can be a challenge to work with some of them.

    C6 tells me the same about Pub. I am not as familiar with it, do not understand it, and because of that..resist it.
