Hello. This is my first visit to this site. I am writing a book. I just
bought a lap top and it appears to have a different version of word than my home pc did. I am used to writing in the "read" view, you know that has two pages on the screen side by side? I can't figure out how to get that feature on my new word. I think I have word 2000. I have no idea what I used to have on my pc. Can I get that view on this version of word? Thanks! -- auntie mia |

If you have just bought a new laptop with Office installed, you will have
Office 2007. Unless you paid extra for it, it will be a time-limited trial version, and you will eventually have to pay for it. What was called Reading Layout view in Word 2003 is called Onscreen Reading view in Word 2007, and there is an icon for it on the status bar along with the other view icons (it looks like an open book). If you really are using Word 2000, then you will not have this view, as it was introduced in a later version. FWIW, I'm not sure I'd recommend Onscreen Reading as a suitable view for composition. It really is designed for reading rather than writing, and very few of the tools you might need for writing are available in this view. If you really want to pursue this, though, you will have to click on View Options in the top right corner and click on Allow Typing. -- Suzanne S.

Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. The laptop that I bought was
from ebay and it is a refurbished dell that already had microsoft office installed. Like I said I am new to all of this. I looked in the properties on my computer and that is why I think that I have 2000. I guess it is a lost cause unless I wanted to pay for a newer version of word right? -- auntie mia "Suzanne S.

Probably so, if it is indeed Word 2000. You can get the version from Help |
About Microsoft Word in the Word program. Since Office 2000 is out of support (it is three versions back), I think I would take this up with the seller, as the laptop was almost certainly misrepresented on eBay. -- Suzanne S.
