Q: Fractions
How can I type out Fraction without looking like this (1/8)? Do I need to have special Software to do it?
A: Fractions
Depending on which program you are using there are a couple of ways to accomplish this.
Widows has a built in utility named Character Map located under System Tools that will allow you to insert different symbols and characters. Like ½
Whether or not the symbol for 1/8 is there I don't know you will have to look for it.
Microsoft Word on the other hand makes it pretty easy to do this. Let me know if you are using MS Word and don't know how to use fractions.
Good luck.

Q: Word Not Enough Memory Message
About six months ago, I had Word added to my Windows 95 program. I haven't had any problems with it until this last week. When I try to enter the program, the following sentence appears on the screen: There is not enough memory or disk space to run Word. I checked my memory and it is 82% free. Any suggestions?
A: Word Not Enough Memory Message
First thing I would do is shut down my computer and then turn it back on. This little procedure often cures a multitude of problems.
It could be you need to create some space on your hard drive.
Do you know how to use Windows Explorer or My Computer?
There are a number of places where you can delete files from Folders and gain some space.
Try cleaning out your Recycle Bin, Temporary Internet Files and the Windows Temp Folder.
Shut down all other programs that are running.
Let me know what happens.
Q: McAfee Update
My McAfee virus scan tells me that I need to up date the program...do I need to buy a new program? Should I get something different? Is there something I can buy through the Club Wed. night?
A: McAfee Update
You
don't have to buy anything.
What that means is you need to update the virus files. (They are called dat
files)
You can do this by going to their web site or just choose update from within
your program.
