Ken, try opening the document with Wordpad. every computer running Windows 
(any version) has it.

Subject: [Njtechdiv] how to send seminar emails without office


Hi NJ tech devision.  have a problem.  as most of you know we are asked to 
email our congresssional representitives/senators on the washington seminar 
issues.  I have bryan’s/joe’s email here in my inbox.  the problem is I’m 
going to have to really go the long way around.  when my sister bought this 
computer for me in 2011, she assumed that well office is part of it and it 
is installed already so that was that.  what she didn’t obviously know was 
office must be bought or at least activated.  so if I were to click an 
atachment for example such as what is in this email I’ll then be prompted 
with a please give your activation number.  now if the product is 
preinstalled the computer manufacturer would likely have included it in the 
packaging and or documentation of the computer but of course as mentioned my 
sister wouldn’t have thought to look for it.  for the same reason the 
computer came preinstalled with norton antivirus which as we know is more or 
less inaccessible to screen readers.  you couldn’t even uninstall it until 
Jaws had the OCR features in it.  that was how I was finally able to do it 
maybe a year after or two years even after the computer was bought.  so here 
is my question.  how do I get these emails properly edited and sent without 
going the long way of copying and pasting to say notepad and going back and 
forth between this email and there and thusly make an all day project our of 
something fairly simple.  also how can I posibly find out what key should 
and could activate office and perhaps since it’s somewhat outdated how do I 
get it so that office can be brought up to date.  this email is worthless if 
I ca’t follow up on it.  special attention jane,  tell me about this jart 
you mentioned previously.  given the article in the november monitor called 
what is the cost of a free product and it’s talking about the problem of 
blind people being asked to accept a product that is almost as good as... 
something like open office which some say is almost as good as office, is 
jart as good?  is it equal too office?  we are after all trying to achieve 
equality for the blind Huh?  accepting something that is almost as good won’t 
cut it especially in this situation.
