Oh crap......Help!!!! Rep reward!!!!

Change the file format. You just kinda play with it until you get the right one.

In the ned I did it the hitmandonny way....
Which of course involved the total neglect of all modern technology, running a mile as fast as I could getting the original and saving it as a word doc and then running as fast as my legs can take me to work again.

Printing soon!!!

Come onnnnnnnn A+!!!

I think what happened here is that the PC at your work is not equipped with a Flux Capacitor.
I suggest you tell your boss to grab a couple from the local PC store and install them. I'm sure your boss will compensate you for this. ;)

Thanks Mick ha Ha

Donny, you got it working yet?

If not, I have a preliminary question. How are you attempting to open the file on your work PC? by double clicking on the file?

I've done it in Microsoft Works Word Processor on my laptop only to attempt to save it and print it off from my work PC.
Having saved it to a memory key and opened it I find that it turns it into just mad messed up lines of square and y's....
How can I open this document up....I know I've done it before.

Next time you are going to take a copy to work, use the "Save As" feature in Works and save it as a MS Word (RTF) file and you should not have any problems opening it with Word. You can do the same thing with spreadsheets. (Save as an Excel format)

I'm probably to late for my advice to help but maybe in future - Have you tried opening in wordpad? Sometimes that worked for me when transfering things between home and school, as usually they were different versions of Microsoft Word and for some reason it just encoded the text differently and would be all messed up when I got to school...

Also when I had something to take between the 2, I would save one version just in normal word, then i'd save another copy into Wordpad which always worked on any PC

I wasted my money on one of those a few weeks ago because it was an old version Flux and didn't have a USB connection :eek: Although the store said it would work perfectly with my laptop...

I've since researched and it's the 2.0 model that works on new P.C's..
