Hi Nivard, I probably did when I lost it.:} If I want to send something without the email heading as an attachment or just want it to as clean as possible, I used word to do that. A business letter, for example. I put the header as I always do when writing such letters - address and date. and to whom in the company I am writing. Outlook probably is connected with Office but it "cams" with the connection to Word. THe way it is now, I haven't figured out if there is a document written that was not meant to be sent. It keeps about a half dozen and the rest disappear -pooof!. Is it hard to get Thunderbird to be connected with word> My computer guy has threatened me with if I download anything without asking him first..:} I think I will have him come - he has been here 2 times in the past week and half. I wish I had know about this before. Thank you for telling me.:} If I had an auto that changed every night from the steering on the right to the steering on the left, or ran on gasoline today and over-night decided it would like diesel better and the next night decided to change the locks, and the next something else. Do you know how long I would put up with it before getting another car? A lot sooner than I am with this computer. All the best, take good care I am taking the opportunity to have some fun but there is a thread of truth in it.:} Barbara ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, July 13, 2014 12:43:27 PM Subject: Re: [ROOTS-L] in Outlook, Reply and Reply All Hi Barbara Pre Windows 7 there was Outlook Express and Outlook two separate programs (why they used the same name has baffled many of us) Neither work with Windows 7 They now have Outlook.com which is a web based email client but as far as I know its part of Microsoft Office ? I am sure someone will tell me if its not Personally I wouldn't touch it, there are much better alternatives such as Thunderbird with gmail (both free) but it will work with your Comcast as well Now why would you write an email in Word then want to copy and paste into something else? If you were used to Outlook I would recommend trying Thunderbird You write your email in Thunderbird and send, job done There are plenty of bells and whistles with Thunderbird but you don't have to use them, its very adaptable (have we had this conversation before? I am getting a distinct case of Deja Vu :-) Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 13/07/2014 16:23, [email protected] wrote: > > Now I am totally confused! > > I had Outlook and it was "connected" to WORD so that I could write > something in WORD and then send it from there.
