Restore to a previous System Restore Point

This is available as a DOCX file at: http://sdrv.ms/QQ53hm
The forum software doesn't permit docx files, consequently, formatting is removed during a copy/paste operation.

It may not be available... But it's an easy fix if you just zip archive the file to upload it lol. :)

System Restore can be useful once in a while though. Good guide :)

Definitely an approach. I prefer mine.

We can add doc/x support if desired but...

Many users don't have word I would suggest saving the file as a pdf(there are many free pdf printers online)

I only use DOCX format myself. I've not had any complaints since you can always download a Word Viewer from Microsoft.

Adding doc/x support would be appreciated.

thanks,
karl

Who needs MS Word? You can just change the file ext to .zip format and extract all the XML files to view the text portion of the document along with all other content instead since it's really just a packed file format using the standard zip archive DEFLATE/Base64 compression method :thumbsup2:

Ace who needs to go to all of that work?

I never said somebody has to :) But it's good information to know about. And I was only really trying to say that you don't need any MS Office document viewer to view a Microsoft document file (created by MS Word).

Thanks, but I already own a copy of Office 2012 Pro Plus :) I'm using the 2013 preview at the moment though, it's great.
