Hi Julie -

What you attached is a PDF. The free version of Acrobat Reader will
open them fine. It’s already installed on the new computer. You can
also obtain it at: http://www.adobe.com. I am immensely surprised
that you don’t have it, but it’s possible that Outlook Express forgot
how to open these files & if you right-click on the file & go to ‘Open
With’ and then choose Acrobat Reader, it will work fine.

Office 2007 makes use of an XML-formatted file format (docx, xlsx)
which is not natively compatible with any version of Office earlier
than 2007. Microsoft has released a free update for the older
versions of office (you’re using 2003) to allow them to open these
newer style formats. I don’t think this is the problem in this case,
but it could happen in the future.

Your new computer has been here since Wed, but I have been installing
windows all week and Jackie has been very busy. I am sure we can
start the installation on Monday. I have a trial version of Peachtree,
which we can install on the new machine for you to test out.

Our plan is to install the new machine in Bart’s old office so it
doesn’t affect your ability to work while we’re in the processing of
upgrading. We have to add the machine to the domain, install
printers, install programs, copy data, etc – all of which can be done
without interfering with your ability to use your current computer.
