[Ham-Computers] Another email question

[Jim Hill]

No, it just replaces it with Linux blues.
Let me give you an example.  I wanted greater security with on-line 
banking type work, so installed Ubuntu Linux on an older P3-933 
computer that was no longer in use.  I learned in the past to pick an 
easy version of Linux, and so far everything is super. I have a free, 
secure, dedicated computer for financial matters.  I received a 
promotion that would give me $100 if I opened an account at WaMu and 
got and used their debit card.  Fine, went to their local branch, 
took care of the paperwork so I enrolled and had an on-line account, 
learned WaMu is now part of Chase, came home, went to the Chase URL, 
and could not access my account.

I decided to make a Word document displaying the screens I accessed 
so I could debug easier.  I can no longer could use Word,  but Ubuntu 
came with Open Office that is supposed to be just as good.  I 
normally use Irfanview to cut important parts of a window and paste 
them to a Word document, but no longer can use Irfanview. I can't 
find a Linux version.  I used alt-Print Screen to copy the entire 
window to the Open Office Word Processor.  Pretty soon, I had a 
number of overlapping images and the program was slowing down.  I 
started again, using a number of CR's between each image.  Now I have 
many pages, so decided to number them. God Forbid!  In Word, a couple 
of keystrokes is needed - not so with Open Office.  I went to their 
forum, and found a multi-page sticky about page numbering.  Pretty 
soon facts were going in one ear and out the other, so read some 
responses. They were stumped, too.  I really need Word, an discovered 
there is an application called Wine that allows much of MS Office to 
be used, but I bought this computer used with Word preinstalled.

I solved the original issue by returning to the local WaMu 
office.  Chase-Chase and Chase-WaMu have different web sites.

I like my dedicated computer, but how do I automatically have 1 of 3, 
2 of 3, etc. listed at the top right corner of each page?
