Hi everyone i'm new to the board as i'm sure you'll soon
be able to tell from my questions. I've been asking
around "Does anybody know of a book that's about Microsoft
Word only?" y'know tells you how to use everything in
detail about word and in an understandable language
not "computer-jargon". But everytime i ask this question
they ask me what kind of Word do you have and i
reply, "Windows 2000" and then they say "HUH!?" I thought
you knew what kind of Microsoft Word you had by the
operations program you were running but evidently not
so...... i guess? I'm lost here so how do i find out what
kind of Microsoft Word i have then? And how do i use the
computer to find this info out? Any help would REALLY be
appreciated b/c i'm totally in the dark here. Have a
great week everyone.

have a google search for "word for dummies" this is one of a
series that simplify the application basics.

windows 2000 is an operating system, OS not a word processor
application such as "word"

the OS basically contro;s the hardware and what your system
can do.

There are many different software applications - depends
what you need ?

A very common application set is MS Office, word is a part
of this set (as is excel, powerpoint etc)

Unless it was part of your computer software "bundle" you
may not necessarily have any word processor application
other than the very basic "wordpad" that is a party of
windows 2000 (the OS)

good luck

Vince - Start the Word program, any way you like. At the top of the
screen, click on "Help." In the scroll-down window that appears, click
on "About..." You will find what you want there, on the "About" window
that opens up.

I'm assuming your word processor is some flavor of Microsoft Word, but
most major programs of all sorts identify themselves in this way.
