if you only have windows xp as part of the bundle it will have wordpad, which is a basic word processing package, it misses some of the filters that fully featured packages possess. If office is taking a while to get to you :rolleyes: you might want to get something like word viewer:

I'm probably going to regret asking this but.... Where exactly is the newsletter. Thought it might be on the main page under 'news' but it's not. Probably in big red letters on the board somewhere!:wack:

Never received it on email though.:(
