A few of the new machines in work came with MS Works instead of Office.
To me this is a good thing (costs a lot less, does exactly the same 95% of the time), but to many people this is a *big* problem because the first time they send a document to someone using an Office application they are told there is a problem with their document - it's not saved as a .DOC or .XLS or whatever.
The fact that the document is perfect and Office is the problem because it doesn't have a native (or easy to use) converter for many other products escapes many people and they assume that the Works application is the problem instead.
Anyways, I know you can tell Works to save as Rich Text Format (.RTF) and that Word will happily open this and display it correctly, but I can't find how to get Works to default to this and after the first week or so I have found that people get tired of having to select their file type every time they save.
There *must* be a way to force Works to save as .RTF by default but it's not obvious to me.
Anyone out there know how to do it ?
