WORKS/WORD compatibility

[bayskater]

Hi,

I have MS WORD 2000 on my old desktop computer.
We just bought a new notebook computer for my wife. It came with MS Works.
(7.0 I believe). Are these two pgms. compatible at all? I composed a short
test message in Works on the notebook and attached it to an e-mail sent to
self. I opened it in the desktop computer (which has WORD) and it was opened
in word, but the attached test message was gibberish.

Do I need to install WORD on the new computer?
If Works documents are sent as attachments to e-mails, does the person
receiving them have to have Works on their computer to read them ?

Thanks, ..... Fred
