Being both lazy and cheap, I've been using the "Works" word processing program that came pre-installed on my desktop and on my laptop. It's an okay program, but it cannot be read by either "Word" or "Word Perfect," the two most popular wordprocessing programs.
Recently, a friend installed "Word" on my laptop. A side effect was that I could no longer read any of the many "Works" documents which I had already created. "Works" had disappeared off my laptop.
One day, while poking around, I noticed that -- with the push of a button, I could reinstall "Works"... and so I did. But in doing so, "Word" was de-installed. I can still access the Word documents I created, but I can't modify them or even copy them into other documents.
Tonight, I install WordPerfect onto my desktop...and presto, I can no longer read the Works document on my desktop.
What is it with Works?! Why is it when you install another word processing program, Works de-installs, and you can no longer read what you've done?! It seem just plain mean and malicious.
