[stylist] MS and Windows

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Donna,

Word 2003 won't work as well with newer versions of Windows and even
JAWS, so if you have Windows 7 or greater, or a newer version of JAWS,
Word and MS in general will run much better with a newer version as
well. I'm dealing with the same situation as you and Jackie. It's quite
the pain in the bum.

Jackie,
I'm sorry to hear that my experiences are turning you off to
self-publishing. Publishers and agents who accept poetry are few and far
between, and many poets are going the self-publishing route. The
publishers
are out there though, so just keept working on it. 

Your teacher is very wise. I wish I had stuck with Word 2003, but it
wasn't
working right with my new computer. I'm still not sure what the issue
really
was, but I switched to 2010.
