Ah, but what if... there is no icon on the desktop... there is no desktop just a prompt like A:/... the program has not yet been installed... the program requires user input & the user doesn't know what keys to pound...

What if the OP is away with the fairies & is just winding us all up???

WHAT IF..........................

Ok heres my problem. I have scanned a document. and I saved it in works. I need to edit this document is it possible to do that?
Title: Re: HELP

I'm guessing that this is Microsoft Works, and it is a Word document correct? Also, rather than asking if it will work, try it...

If you scanned it as a picture (the default settings for most scanners), then, no, you cannot edit it with works, it is a picture not a text type file.

If your scanner came with OCR (Optical Character Recognition) and you used the OCR on the scan and then put it is Works, then yes you can edit it.

If it's an image pasted to works then it COULD be edited using the font tools in the picture menu.  This is super cheesy but will work.

Yeah, considering the whole thread I was trying to stay away from "super cheesy".

Being that you scanned the menu using a scanner, this is a Paint file... Can you just erase the price(s) that you want changed, and replace that empty scape with the new price?

Chelsea, you'd get a much better response if you created your own thread instead of piggybacking off this one.  Don't forget to give it a meaningful Subject like Help With Floppy Drive.  As to your question..

1) Have you got the floppy in the drive?
2) Have you checked the floppy on another computer?
3) Have you checked another floppy with this computer?

By doing steps 2 and 3 you can pinpoint if the fault is with the disk or the drive.
