Okay, you all have been very helpful to me, and patient I might add, and I did download Libre Office. So today, I'm looking for some old stuff in My Documents that I needed and every time I tried to open something, the "Try Microsoft Office" pops up, as I do not have it. Or it had an arrow for more apps. I clicked on Notepad, then Wordpad, and all it gave me was a bunch of weird letters and symbols. Occasionally it came up where I could open it in Libre Office, but not much. I think I'm at the point of going ahead and buying Microsoft Word and just forget this whole mess. New question: Do I download it online from Microsoft (not fond of that) or go to Best Buy or Staples and just buy it? When I had Word 2007 on here (before Dell accidentally erased it), anything I wanted to open would open right up.
I'd be in good shape if I "understood" computers as well as you people do and even my old computer dude who worked on my stuff from time to time didn't understand why I didn't know how to do some of the things I should know. I'm sorry, I just don't get it. My husband bought me Printmaster to do cards and other projects and it takes me three hours to figure out how to do one card! I think I'm hopeless...no, I'm too old to learn new tricks, that's it!!!
