Go to Microsoft and search for it.. I think you can download it or request a CD. However, standalone may be as expensive as the full suite, which can be a inexpensive as $125 or so from Costco.

IF I remember correctly, you are using Thunderbird. File Page setup There is a place there to change the scale. See if that is what you need. Or, there is shrink to fit page which might make it smaller. If you want only the one email enlarged, try the File Print Print Preview and there is the Scale box again. Do not know if that is only for one email, or if it keeps the scale you set for all. Good luck. Joy On 12/22/2011 2:36 PM, Nancy Tollefson wrote: > Hi, I have an email, I'd like to print out.

Pat writes: Otherwise, from "start" the first box above the start button says "search programs and files" -- put in your search terms there. Pat, this is the area of search that I reference. When this year old computer was new, that feature worked and worked well. A few months ago, I realized it no longer was working; sending error message: there are no matches to your search terms or something very similar. Of late, I have begun to wonder why it stopped working. Using my limited knowledge of search terms I looked on google---the number of hits was staggering----but the subject lines of the first twenty or so did no indicate solution to my problem----I did not open and read all twenty.

A gandy dancer is a person or member of a crew who lays or repairs railroad tricks. Their are many theories about the origins of the term. Some say it comes from the odd gait required to walk either on or between the ties while inspecting for flaws.

Fred Not sure what the issue here, but let's start with: If you are looking for a file, click on "start", "documents" or "pictures", and when the Windows Explorer comes up, in the upper right corner is "search documents" and you can put in your search terms there. Otherwise, from "start" the first box above the start button says "search programs and files" -- put in your search terms there.
