thanks a lot! without any problem the office xp was gone.
i still have some questions that i would like to put forward but should maybe not be addressed to you, in which case you can maybe tell me where to put them.
1. maybe 20 years ago i could upon opening my computer with a programm called quickstart open all the documents i had had opened when i closed the former session.
2. still with office xp i could after having opened a document with shift-f5 go to the spot where i had been working at the end of last session
3 and also in office xp i could search for words in documents in order to find a former document in which i had already written on some subject. it didn't work very well, but sometimes it did.
now after all these years of trying to improve prgramms i have lost all these possibilities. it is making my work more difficult because i am working on long texts that i am working on for many sessions, sometimes during years.
i hope i am wrong and these possibilities still do exist,
