Is it java software? It is Microsoft's word processing software for windows dating back to DOS days. Today you would use Open Office to process its documents. Open Office is free. Word is now running $180 for word 2010. It is part of the Office Suite which is $250 or $470 for the pro version. It is licensed only for one user on one computer. -- Roedy Green Canadian Mind Products http://mindprod.com Students who hire or con others to do their homework are as foolish as couch potatoes who hire others to go to the gym for them.
