Hi All,
This is why I HATE subscription software. I get an email from M$ telling me I was loosing my Orfice 365 as my Pament was declined. PANIC, I paid my Credit Card on Saturday and had more then enough slack for the paypal charge. Log into M$ try to manualy send a Paypal payment NO!, log into Paypal everything fine, log into Bank all correct, dig into Paypal find the Payment is inactive, how the * do I activate it?

That sounds like a phishing scam.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.
|
|
|
|
|
That was my thought until I looked and found the Paypal payment had been made 'inactive' could activate it so paid with the source!

Yet you use it, with the vendor lock in.
M$? Really? That was in the 1980's as I recall.
How about NOT USING IT?

Due to the fact I need to compatible with the M$, if I could I would use Open Office...

I have yet to find anything that I need to do that I cannot do with Libre Office. almost the same as open office. I send files to people who use MS all the time.

Office 2003 still works just fine. (Win 10 anyway.)

I think I might have 2003 somewhere, a job for the weekend!

Office 2010 here... same. Native "docx", "xlsx" and so on is a small advantage. 2003 is still "doc" and you need an add-on IIRC
At work we have 365 mandatory, at home no way I am going to jump in if I can avoid it.

running Office 2K on W10, except for Exchange, not sure I have used anything besides Word and Excel. Will got an error on installing, tell it to ignore.
And, as an extra bonus, Clippy!!

will not subscribe to anything MS. Thanks to customers, I don't have too - corporate IT license. Nothing 365 does is anything better than Office 97.

I still use Word 97 at home - it works fine, is compatible with all the documents I wrote over the last 25 years and still prints magnificently (when necessary - which isn't very often).
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

You can buy Office rather than subscribing to it. That is what I do.

AROSE, followed by TUNIC and GLYPH if there are no hits (I run in hard mode, so if I find a letter, I have to use it in all subsequent guesses)
That covers all vowels (plus Y) in "frequency order" in English words, plus the most common consonants. I do get a pretty good hit rate!

I don't play very much at all but when I do I use Adieu.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

This selects 20 different letters leaving only 6 less frequent letters, possibly 5 as Q can be eliminated if U is not used.
I had a 99% success rate for many months due to one miss on a set of letters that could have been three or four words.
