Save a Word Doc from desktop in Windows Works word processor

Last week, the ability to save a document, Word of Windows works as an Office Word Document (doc) has disappeared from the choices in the Save as drop down in my Windows program, it works.  The only options that remain now are works (wks), Rich Text, only text and HTML.  In the year and a half, I had this laptop and Windows Vista with works that I was always able to save as doc when I send a document to those who have the office window--suddenly it is no longer possible.  I looked everywhere to see if there is an option where I can add the 'doc' save option back without success.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

Above is the tip on how to do it.

Restore point:

http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  • Why not remove images from my office window and screen saver?

    You have a thorny problem and a bit tricky here.

    A few months ago, at my work, I got a new iMac (for me). As I was getting started upward, furnished and ready to use, at some point it must be synchronized with my iPad, which was nearby. So, when I open my desktop and screen saver system preferences, I see a multitude of images that I took with my iPad and I somehow was stored and transferred to my work machine. One of these pictures is, shall we say, I don't like for anyone to see except my other significant... and it is possible that I can receive an offer for a new job at some point in the near future. Needless to say, I don't want to leave this pic on my machine here for someone else to run into.

    Problem is that I can't remove it. It won't let me select it; -button stays grayed out. The offensive peak is no longer on my iPad, but it remains obstinately to the view from my office window & screen saver system preferences. 1. Why can't select and remove? 2 in the world this image file actually location? I could trash it maybe, if I could find the actual file.

    To sum up, I want this pic from this machine, but I can't remove it now as it is. What can I do?

    Open the pictures folder in your user account and browse the library of Photos for the photo of the source and remove it.

    Line the bottom and by design, you cannot use Office remotely [DRC] to control remote computer access/one Windows Home Edition, IE. Win 7/Vista or XP.

    You can use a computer Windows Home Edition remote access/control a computer Win 7 Ultimate/Pro, Vista Ultimate/professional or XP Pro/MCE with DRC.

    It seems that your dad work computer is equipped to Win 7 Ultimate/Pro, Vista Ultimate/professional or XP Pro/MCE. In this case your computer laptop Win 7 Home Premium or the old XP Home computer can act as a RDC client or remote access control its work DRC host computer.

    For you to remote control your computer XP Home laptop Win 7 Home Premium watch TeamViewer (free for personal use).

    http://www.TeamViewer.com

    For you on the remote control the new laptop Win 7 Home Premium from XP Home watch TeamViewer computer or you can also try Windows Live Mesh 2011 remote connections. Personally in this case I would stick with TeamViewer just for the sake of consistency.

    Original title: network printing

    I have Vista Home running on a desktop computer with a printer. I have a laptop with W 7 (64-bit) and to print on a desktop printer.  I have configured the settings to allow the sharing of files on the vista machine and now in this network sharing Center it is written after the sharing printers and public folder sharing (password required).  Which passwords they are referring to and how do I enter them?

    I decided to bite the bullet and updated desktop for Windows 7.  Now, portable and office are on the same operating system.  Then I used the home network.  The network was a snap to set up and works perfectly.

    Hello

    You can do it with the computer laptop connection via Wireless, however, if you have a lot of backup it will take forever. So consider for backup of the laptop with a cable to connect to the router in the same way as the office.

    In the opposite case. It's a question of set up two computers to share files.

    Maybe this can help.

    ----------------------

    Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

    Group residential network = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

    Working network = fundamentally similar to previous methods of sharing that allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.

    Public share
    = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.

  • The upgrade from Vista to Windows 7: How can I make sure that I keep Microsoft Office

    A few months back I took advantage of this offer to upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 for a discounted price. After that I downloaded the upgrade file, Upgrade Advisor told me that because I'm using Vista business and I was upgrade 7, that my computer would probably be home must pass through with a 'clean install', thus wiping my hard drive.

    That's fine with me, I could just move my documents and Favorites on an external hard drive. But I'm afraid that the upgrade will be wipe my Microsoft Office programs.

    I bought this computer a few years ago. I don't even know if I bought the program with office bundled with it, or if I bought it separately (and probably the discs are somewhere in storage).

    How can I make this update without losing Microsoft Office? Is it possible to confirm if my word has come with my computer or if I installed it separately. If it came with it, and I lose it, certainly there must be a free way for me to recover. Right?

    Any other advice for someone planning on the upgrade?

    Thank you!

    You're the one who knows if you installed Office.

    Office (Word, etc.) comes for free with Windows. you have to buy.

    If Office is preinstalled, it was a test.

    A clean installation will wipe everything.

    You cannot transfer programs.

    It needs to be reinstalled from the original media.
