2. You get a new computor and find it differnt what you had. Its Words 97. What that?
3. You learn words 97 then you lose words 97 due to up grade.
4. You find that word 2000 works on your computor, so you convert your story from the first disk, then from the words 97 disk then to the new words 2000.
5. Then you find the save a html. So happy now your story in its last step. Everyone can read your story.
6. You find Themestream.com threw writer Margaret Marr.
Your hard work finally gets read. Then...
7. Themestream dies, but not the writers..
8. You joined together and find where you are so we can still read each work, then you find the other writing sites. http://www.writtenbyme.com

Pam: I know exactly what you mean! Have spent literally thousands of hours on a book, first in a simple word processor, then scanned everything so I could get it into Microsoft Publisher. Worked with it for five years, upgraded my computer to Microsoft 2000. Purchased a newer version of Microsoft Publisher that could (presumeably) do so much more than the older, but - OOPS! the newer one doesn't recognize the older version, and I'm back to square one! So now what, scan everything again? NO! delete the newer version, install the old. $130.00 down the drain. All because I want this book to be perfect - for me!
Welcome !
