Question: how do i save text to print it on several documents?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer: Wow! I haven't seen a wheelwriter in 20 years. If it has a display screen there were commands listed under help for saving and printing. Usually if there is an F1 key on the keyboard this activates the help feature and F10 usually saves files. Also, you might find a manual on IBM's website ibm.com. It might take a little digging through their archives. I honestly didn't think there were any wheelwriters still in service.

Question: Every icon goes to windows media player. Even windows explorer and the internet. How do I get my original icons back so I can play games and get into my documents?
Thanks

Answer: There are a lot of complaints about Windows Media Player on
the Internet. Did you recently upgrade it or your virus protection?
Try uninstalling Windows Media Player to see if the icons switch back
to normal (Start/Control Panel/Add/Remove Programs/Remove) and use
iTunes or something else a little less buggy for your media. If you're
trying to download library media then you can't do it without some
version of WMP but try an older version than the one you currently
have. Also, check to make sure that your virus protection is current
and up to date. If it isn't, correct that right away. There are
viruses that take control of your icons and do strange things with
them.
