[Blindtlk] Microsoft Word Compatibility Question...

[Ericka Short]

I don't think anything will work well with  xp anymore since it's not really 
supported  any longer either.  I just received office 2013 and it won't work 
well with older speech software or  magnification. programs.  Otherwise it 
works  pretty well with windows 7.  I will ask around, I think I have a 
friend who still uses xp.  I agree, if you can find a  low cost version of 
windows 7, do it.  Make sure your  computer has the space available to use 
it though.  It might be time to replace the computer.  I am facing that 
problem myself and  don't know where or how to  get a new one.  I do 
understand the Texas school for the blind has them  refurbished and loaded 
with all the needed  up to date software for  $100 and  quite good.  If you 
decide you need something newer, that might be a good option.  I think they 
have both laptops and  desktops.  Don't quote me on that.

Hope I have been helpful, Pr. Klein.

Hi all!
I also have Windows XP professional and Microsoft Word 7 works best. I don't 
know where you can get it. You could try EBay and see if you can find it.
