In our school we have Microsoft Word, and on my computer i only have microsoft works word processor. I need to bring a saved essay to school on a disk but it doesnt open in microsoft word because its microsoft works. (gets confusing), so i need to download microsoft word on my computer for free so i could bring my essay to school and work on it. Does anyone know any sites they will give me so i can download microsoft word for free? I tried searching on google but i need specific sites cuz im dumb. Anyone who helps..thanks alot!!!!

I have an older computer so I have Microsoft Works also and you don't even need to download Microsoft Word. You can just save your essay to Wordpad (every computer has Wordpad) and it should work that way. You can just go to Microsoft's website, http://www.microsoft.com, and search for it on there.

my thighs are huge!! i bought a bikini and it doesnt look right on the bottom because of my thighs!! how can i get then to thin and even out? can i do that?

You can tone your thighs/legs so they will thin out and you can do this by running/jogging and doing squats, lunges, leg lifts, side leg lifts, running in place, running in water, and exercises like that.

If someone gets reported, how long does it take for something to get banned or something of that nature?

It depends on when a Level 2 or 3 moderator checks to see if an abuse report has been filed. It could take a few minutes where as it could take almost a day.

ok... so... i had 4 out of 5 stars next to my advice column a few days ago and now they're gone.. what does that mean? like there's no stars at all.
thanx
aeromonkey

If you've been here longer than a month or two and have a few ratings that are older than 30 days, then this just means that your overall rating went up or down and the number of times you have been rated has changed to. This then changes the shading in the stars. If you haven't answered more than 5 questions, then those stars disappear until you do answer at least 5 questions in the past 30 days. It's nothing to worry about; those stars just tell you a columnist's overall rating if you hover over them.

hey .... i was thinking of making a xanga or myspace. which is better in your opinion? also, could i see some of yours to get ideas? thanks!

I have both but Myspace is definitely better than Xanga. You have your own mail inbox, you can listen to music, search for people in your area where as you can't do that on Xanga. You also have your own photo section on Myspace.


Here's my Myspace link: http://www.myspace.com/classic_love

can u get pregnant from giving bloow jobs? swallowing sperm>? help.

No, you cannot get pregnant from giving a guy a blow job and swallowing sperm/cum but you can get an STD or two. Inorder to get pregnant, sperm needs to enter your vagina and it's impossible to get pregnant from swallowing sperm.

so I want get rid of the hair on my bikini line, and when I shave it I just get bumps. I've tried bikini zone and everything, but I still have these red bumps there. Any ideas on how to change that?

Well, Nair has a new hair removal foam that has baby oil in it, so it doesn't smell awful anymore, and you can use that to get rid of your bikini line. If you don't want to use that, then try using a good, new razor and use a shaving gel. Apply lotion on afterwards, and that will help get rid of the bumps.

you know on the side where it says search columnists and it brings you to another page then you type in the letter it begins with then it bring you to a whole bunch of columnists and stars next to there names do those stars decrese or go down or does it say the way it is.

Those blue-ish stars represent your overall rating. The shading in them only decrease/increase if your rating decreases/increases. If you had a rating of 4.5, then 4 1/2 stars would be shaded. If you hover over the stars next to a columnist's name on that page, it will tell you their rating.

is there a site where i can get free music and put it on a cd without downloading? because i only like certain songs from different bands so to buy the cd would be a waste so if you could help me out.. i would greatly appreciate it

No, there is no site that you can get music without downloading songs. Inorder to put songs on a CD, you need to download them from file sharing program so it can then go onto your computer to put them on it. The only site where you can get music without downloading any programs is http://cdzinc.com. LimeWire does not harm your computer at all; it won't make it run slower and it won't give you any viruses and such.

hey all this question is for everyone so you're all welcome to answer it my mom tells me to let my nails grow but i have this bad habit of biting them do you know of any i could stop biting my nails i'll rate high for good and reasonable answers.

There are a few things you can do that will help you with your habit of biting your nails. You can dip your fingers into vinegar and when you are about to bite your nails, you will get that sour taste and that will stop you from biting your nails. There is also a clear nail polish that has an awful taste to it and it basically does the same job as vinegar does.

i just downloaded netscape 7.2 so i could go on launch.com but i need 7.1!! >:O i cant find it anywhere to download 7.1! anyother good websites to listen to music to though?

If you have Windows Media Player, you can go to http://cdzinc.com to listen to music. Just search for an artist of a particular song you want to listen to and you can just click on "PLAY~" to listen to that song.

If you drink lots of water while you're on your period, will that increase you flow? decrease? Does it do anything?? I rate 5's for first 5 ppl who give decent answers

Drinking lots of water while you're on your period will not increase/decrease the flow of it. Drinking water will help keep your skin from breaking out, which is a good thing.

How do you make your font bigger? and how do you enter like this
my name is jess
i am 14


I can't figure that out
Please help me!

You just need to type < font size="#" >TEXT< / font > (but remove the spaces and where it says #, that's where you put in a number such as a 4 or 5 for a bigger font but don't get rid of the quotations and then type in what you want the larger font to say where it says TEXT.


Here's an example with what you want; My name is Jess and I'm 14

Can you help me out?



To put a picture in your "Heroes" section, you just need to type in < img src="URL" > but without the spaces and then insert the URL of that picture where it says URL but don't get rid of the quotations.

hey i asked the question about me and my boyfriend looking at porn and we deleted the history but it still comes up when i type in the first few letters of the old site in the address box thing -pants- lol! newayz, what did you mean by this: you can delete your documents menu by going to Start, Settings, Taskbar & Start menu, and then clearing out your documents. where is start? that thing in the bottom left corner? if that is it, then where is settings, cuz its not under the start at the bottom. plz help soon..thx

The Start button is on your taskbar, the bar that goes across the bottom of your desktop. There should be something above your "Shut down" button thing that has to do with your settings. I have Windows 98 so that's why I mentioned this way to get rid of the URLs under your address bar.
