Works on Vista?

[Katypies]

Can I install an old Microsoft Works on to my computer running Vista? I need to use attachment capabilities and don't have Office (can't afford) installed. I did download Openoffice which is great but I discovered I still can't send attachment without Microsoft. Is there a way?

Yes you can install works. But I can't imagine why you think you need it to send attachments. You can send any document as an attachment by creating an e-mail then clicking the "attach" button or clicking Insert/File as attachment.

You can also attach an OpenOffice document direct from within OpenOffice by clicking the "Document as E-mail" button on the OO toolbar or clicking File/Send/Document as E-mail

whu?

you should be able to send any file as an attachment ... generally the only limitation is size.

unless you are using exchange ... and your admin has blocked certain file types.

if that's the case generally you can put it into a zip and send it that way (this is the best option anyhow)

as for your question

Forgot to say that OO also has the advantage that you can choose what type of document should be attached. Once you have clicked File/Send, you can choose Document as E-mail, E-Mail as Open Document text, E-Mail as MS Word, and E-Mail as PDF (probably the most useful).

just read the title .....

some might say it's an oxymoron ...

Yes, especially when you realise the "Works on Vista" declaration does not mean that all the features of a program work on Vista. Just enough to make the program useful.
