Go to Stardock.com and for $4.99 purchase Start8. It is basically a clone of the Win XP / Win7 Start Button, with all your programs listed there. It makes Win8 a lot more palatable. And Win8 is a little faster. Very Good Investment for peace of mind and ease of use. *Donald J Hamann* 34 Maple St Rochester, NH 03867 603-332-9246 [email protected] On 4/12/2013 7:21 PM, ETM wrote: > I almost always go with the dummies books.

I almost always go with the dummies books. I think I have had one for every operating system.

Sylvia, I am two years older than you and have Win8 with my new computer as my old computer crashed after 7 years of good service. Do not fear Windows 8, you will be able to learn it but cannot guarantee that you will like it. I don't like it but am getting better using it. I had XP before and loved it. Win8 cannot compare to XP in my opinion but Win8 is learnable and you will need someone to tell you where some of the things we use are hidden. We can all help each other. If I ever get to the Book Store I am going to look for a Windows 8 book to help me more. Does anyone know of a particularly good book for learning to use Win8 as no instructions came with my computer.

I just got a new laptop with windows 8. I've had it 2 weeks. I hated it at first but, now I don't think it's so bad. It is just a matter of learning where everything is. I use the desktop the same way I always have. The start page will bring up things you want to check, but I just click on through to desktop and use it the same way as always. Really, Start Page is just an extra step.

My old computer crashed and I had to buy a new computer and it came with Win8. I do not like but am slowly finding my way around. Who ever designed it must have been inebriated at the time for it makes no sense and sometimes doesn't work at all. Takes extra strokes to do simple things that could be done better.

Good good good. They stay in gray because if you edit the text/stuff you are typing the numbering might have to change because a page gets longer or shorter. The program will handle that. Enjoy.

Yes, if you are typing them into the pages or they will appear on their own. Did you add the number formatting to the header?

Hi, I got a note from American Airlines, saying I had ordered a ticket on-line. I didn't order any such thing. I wrote back saying I hadn't ordered anything. Then I got a note from the "postmaster", saying that my note can't be delivered.... Did anyone else get this? I'm beginning to think it's some sort of fishing expedition. Especially, when they couldn't deliver my reply... Curious... NancyT

Pat, I was wondering.... should I delete the numbers that I have put in? Thanks again!!

OK, Nancy, what you want is a "header" or "footer" which will maintain the page numbering. That way it is not in the body of your journal, but shows up in gray, printing as usual. I don't have 2000, but I don't think this has changed markedly. Beginning at the first page of your document. At the top of the screen, you have some tabs. One is probably "insert" Click on Insert. Find an icon that says "page number" Click on "page number." Choose where you want it (top). You will probably be able to choose a format at that point. I like "page X", but up to you That will put a page number on each page. Don't mess with them after that. Let us know if this works. Otherwise, we'll have to find a 2000 user.
