I too recommend that program. It won't work with older word processing
systems though. I used to use Microsoft Works 4 and it couldn't save the
graphics. Works wonderfully with Office XP though.
I rather think it leaves something on the PC to prevent you from just
re-downloading it though! (Didn't work for me anyway).
