Thanks very much Peter. I was extremely disappointed by the lack of help I
received when posting a question and instead I was pretty much called an
idiot by someone who feels they are superior to me. I may not be as
knowledgeable about computers as others, and that's why I am asking a simple
question. When I brought my computer home it already had wordperfect
installed on it. It was under office in my programs- that's why I posted my
question here. Asking how I re-install it does not make me a thief. I am
sorry that there are people responding to questions that cannot possibly
help, yet instead they feel the need to be so judgemental because the person
asking for help is not as knowledgeable as those leaving rude- and completely
unuseful- comments. I thought the purpose of this was for someone who needs
help to ask a question, then for someone who is more knowledgeable to point
them in the right direction. Not for someone to ask for help then be called
names. I am on a micrsoft website, not a kiddycorner site, correct?

I mean no disrespect or ill will when I say there was really no need for
that type of comment. The OP was posting through CDO and she had a concern
to re-install Word Perfect. Some people are not as knowledgeable as you and
they have not the faintest idea about what is or how to go about repairing
or fixing an issue that they may have. This is a peer to peer group and
everybody here is here to try to help a poster to sort out their issues. By
having a title attached to your name (and I am sure that you have earned it)
does not give you the right to ride shotgun over a person that is ignorant
to the fact that Word Perfect is not a MS Office app. Maybe they thought it
was since it probably was installed to their folder that was named Office.
So they searched for a newsgroup appropriate for that issue and they
arrived. here. I was also a MS title holder a long time ago and was one of
the originals when the program was started. I have not continued because of
personal reasons but we always were taught at that time to be helpful to any
OP. This should still be applied today.
