How To Backup Outlook Express Emails
Dear Computer Lady,
Two years ago, my pc crashed and I lost all the email folders and the files in each of the many folders.
I was devasted.
Now I have a 2 year old dell which i like and I have a lot of outlook express folders with files within each one. I would like to know how I can back these up so if something does happen I won’t lose all those very valuable folders and files.
My tech who came over 2 years ago to reinstall windows on the older pc did not know how to back up outlook express folders and files. He backed up everything else but I lost the emails. There must be a way to do this. Please help. I am 79 years of age and not a techie and love your newsletter.

How To Create Curved Text in Word
Dear Computer Lady,
I recently purchased a new computer and MS Word 2010.
With my previous program — MS Word 7 — I was able to create text going around in a circle and other shapes. However, I cannot figure out how to do this in Word 2010.
I’ve purchased a couple workbooks, but I’m still lost! Can you help me?
Thanks for your time and consideration.

Upgrading from XP to Windows 7
Dear Computer Lady,
After getting your emails for several years now, I have a predicament I haven’t seen yet.
My wife’s computer “bit the dust” so to speak. I did religiously have her HD backed up. My problem is her new computer has Win 7 Home Premium, and her old one had XP.
How can I get her files onto her new computer? Will I have to reinstall all her programs?
Many thanks in advance from me and all the folks you have “saved” from going batty.

Extracting Images From Movie
Dear Computer Lady,
I need your help! I have a Dell laptop with Windows 7.
I have a program called Windows Movie Maker and would like to transfer a CD that has old home movies on it to my computer. The reason is that I would like to take some of the movie frames and pick out certain relatives who have passed on and put the pictures on a closed family group webpage on Facebook for those who would like to see them.
I can put the entire CD on my laptop, but I’m stuck from there on. How do I bring up certain clips (pictures) of the video, save them on my laptop, so I can upload them to the family webpage? I did get a few of the clips from the CD, but don’t have a clue as to how I did it.
Can you give me some pointers on how to get certain pictures from the CD, and put them on my computer? I’ve been racking my brain for a couple months trying to figure this out. I need help!
Thank you in advance. Susan Read More…
