I had the same problem for years. Works has been on every computer I've owned, but it seems it's not on anybody else's. I finally went to a free software called Open Office, it's free at openoffice.org. You can move your document to open office using "copy and paste." From Open Office you can export your file as a PDF which anyone with access to the internet can read with acrobat reader (also free), and they won't be able to change your file. Jelden
