I used the computer manufacturer's CD to restore.
The files in question are listed with an icon I have never seen and appears to be a white page with a little blue notepad and blue pen in its center, when I bring up it's properties, it says that it opens with wordpad, I tried this and it opened with illegible geek-greek, little squares and letter symbols.
Below the original Scrsht is what I get when I click W Default, prior to reboot.Yet, the Scrsht shows W Default was not selected. Why did you not post a Scrsht showing that you truly selected W Default?
Jp ...... Go into My Computer, C: drive...... find the folder called programs. open it..... look for a folder called MicroSoft Office ( if thats what you had) or MicroSoft Word.)
If you don't see either of them ....... you will simply reinstall your MicroSoft Word.
If it was PEBCAK, I had help !
I knew this was going to happen, . . :(
soybean,
This much I can tell you,
Previously before the restore there were three types of document files
Note Pad; the little note pads that don't allow you to print a single page or highlite for printing, and you can not change fonts from paragraph to paragraph.
Then there was the, (Word Pad), this was stock in W98 and is the same in WXP, but there was not a place that I know of for adjusting pages of print,
Then there was the MS Work or what I thought was the MS Pad which had
a distnct page line markation that was visible when you scrolled down.
and was a bit more sophisticated then word pad, . .
this is what your are saying I have mistaken for MS Words and is actually
Works Processor, you may be very right, . .previously in the post I tried to
explain that I was not sure what it was, . . now that the icons are
changed it is hard to tell, but I still think you are right,
I'm posting what, I hope is the explorer window you wanted, the icon ;
representing SGC PPM is the one we have been discussing.

Thank you.

Would you kindly tell me what the mystery program was or is because I can not find it any more.
If you don't know, please don't answer, maybe someone who knows will come along and help me regain this feature.
I can only ad this, I am looking for a program that creates documents where I can determine where the page break is.What tells you that exactly?
I do want to know what this program is called, if I can not retrieve it in any other way. The name of it is not clear to me.
(For your Information )
Something tells me this was a MSWinWord97 program, I'm still checking.
If you don't know, please don't answer, maybe someone who knows will come along and help me regain this feature.
well, there ya go. As I deducted in a previous post, you had Works. And, you can reinstall it from a CD. I don't know whether the word processor in that version of Works displays page breaks. Install and see.
Compaq Restore Supplemental Software CD
Compaq Restore Special Content
I used the first 2 but would like to review the Disc process, however I don't know of a way to do this without doing another Restore, and or use the 3rd disc, I have not run this to see waht is on it, because I am skeptical of what could take place,
NOTE: The AutoRun process is not initiated when you insert your CD if Office 2000 has already been installed on your computer.OBVIOUSLY, this has nothing to do with your case since you do not have Office 2000 installed. ??? ::)
You don't think I'm trying to set a post record do you ?

"skeptical"? You can be skeptical of a proposition or an argument. Did you mean "wary"?
Why don't you just put the disk in the ******* drive and see what's on it? Cancel any autorun action and open the disk in Windows Explorer. If you see a "Microsoft Works" folder, you're home and dry.
I am afraid that many of your troubles seem to be caused by you having a mixture of ignorance and arrogance.
Jp came here for help not psychiatric evaluation.
Please tell me, what is the SW Folder ?
