Justifying Text
19 Answers
Can anyone put an end to the mystery of why text in reports that I send by email (justification, spacing etc all checked prior) appears jumbled and out of order when it is viewed by one particular recipient. This is causing me no end of grief.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Can you contact them and find out wht version of Microsoft Office they are using i.e. Office 97\office 2000. The reason i say this is because if the recipient is using an older version the formatting will appear all to ****. Let me know and i will be able to help. SID
Hi carriesmum. I deal with these sort of problems on a daily basis so can i suggest without being rude that you pamper his ego a bit and say that you want to send him something as a test because you think you might have a problem ( i suppose make him feel like he's helping a damsel in distress) Ok if you are using office 2000 create a word document go to file - save as - when the window opens at the bottom you will see the name of the document at the bottom in a small slit window and below that file type. Press the arrow next to it and from the list choose Word 95/97. Then resave the document again as a Word 2000 document under another name. Then send them both to his e-mail account and ask him to open both and let you know which one he can see properly. At this point you should be able to tell which version he has. Obviously put some text on the document so as to test the formatting. I know its a bit sneaky but i honestly believe that the gentlemen has an older version of word and it cannot handle the fomatting that is in place for Word 2000. I hope this helps. I'm on here til 4pm and will check in tomorrow. SID
Thank you very much for your answer SID I have done exactly what you suggested. The person is off shore at the moment so I haven't heard anything back yet. I do hope this solves the problem.
If you feel that you can help me with another computer problem - not of my making I have to add -can you reply to this and I will explain.
Thanks again.

OK - Thanks - here goes.
I purchased a External DVD /DVD RW which came with Nero software.
I strated to install the software and it stalled at about 70%. and would go no further. When I rang the company up they said that they would send a Nero disc that would overwrtie the previous info and everything would be OK. Not so. The information on the first disc does not allow the second one to be installed nor does it allow me to uninstall the first 70%. The problem I now have is because the whole of the info from the disc was not installed the "uninstall" part is not there. I am in limbo with no means of removing the rogue part of Nero, which gives me a FATAL ERROR message (never a good thing !) everythime I boot up. Is there a safe and simple way to remove this bit of partially installed software? System recovery doesn't work as the PC does not recognise the part that is installed. Please take into account my limited technical knowledge when and if there is a means of fixing this.
Am I a pest or what? Hope you can help Sid.

OK a couple of quick questions
1. Have you tried putting the first Nero disk back in and reinstalling? The reason i ask is that sometimes you get the option to re-install/modify/remove the program.
2. Have you tried removing it from add/remove programs in the control Panel?
And you are not pest i do this for a living and it is nice to help someone whe genuinely appreciates it. Get back to me soon. SID
