Questions regarding Microsoft Word / Microsoft Works?
I have Microsoft Works on my laptop but when I open Word documents in 'Microsoft Word Processor' they appear funny and all over the place, even when I try to open documents created in Microsoft Word. I would rather not pay £150 to buy Microsoft office in order to be able to see the documents properly. How can I have Microsoft Word on my laptop without having to pay this amount of money. I need to use Microsoft Word in order to create documents for my job.

I would agree that Open Office is the best choice to get around having to buy Microsoft Office.
Just be careful to make sure you save the files in the right format. When I first started using Open Office, my Excel like spreadsheets weren't saved under the Excel format, and I thus would not open when I got to the lab to print them off. This is simple and is just done by selecting the format under the drop down menu when you save the files.

Check the three letters behind the dot on each of those files, if they are pdf files, it takes a different set up called Adobe Reader to read these files properly.

My suggestion is to download and install Open Office, which will let you create MS Word, PowerPoint and Excel files, and will open same.
Open Office is an open source office application, based on StarOffice. It is highly compatible with MS Office's core applications (up to MS Office 2007, I believe).
You'll find more information at http://www.openoffice.org/

By the way: OO is an excellent free suite of office tools. I have MS Office 2003, without the PowerPoint application, and Open Office lets me open, modify and save PowerPoint files in their native .ppt format with ease.
