Tuk, my orders have me confused.  I thought if I helped out with yours then you could help with mine.  Here's my problem.

We have been assigned bomber duty.  That's not the problem.  I love being able to fly B-52C's.  Nothing wrong with the C models.  We'll be able to cruise at 45,000 ft at 550 miles an hour. 

It's just that our escorts are flying Sopwith Camels.  I'm afraid that during takeoff they will accidentally be blown back into last week from the jet wash.  They'll be late to the party.

If you could, tell your guys to please be patient.  The Camel jockeys will be there just behind on schedule.  I think I remember the Quartermaster saying something about the rifle ammunition being late again.  Don't be surprised if arrows and spears are being hurled at your guys.

Any suggestions are welcome in finding asolution to this dilemna. :angel:

TUk just to let you know, I won't be preparing the Allied Orders.  I told the squad last week that "first to die" got the job.  I have never seen such assiduous flying!  They all landed safely but Picko wiped his wheels off landing and that's good enough for me!


My guys would faint if I told them that!..  Good luck to you guys.... I am ready!!!!!!!!! :rock

What part of the statement " the zipping was not my problem" didn't you understand????  When I got the orders unzipped I could not OPEN the document because I don't use MSWORD, and 50,000 guys that do use msword saying they got their orders just fine doesn't change jack for me :mad:

It never ceases to amaze me why people complain when they are in a minorty instead of fixing the problem themselves. Instead of complaining about not being able to open the document, you could have found something that would. Start here: http://openoffice.idownload.org/?gclid=CIXuspLphZ4CFVw55QodT1hApQ. You will find a word processing program that will handle MS Word.

To CiC's; The same program will convert WORD documents to a PDF format for which the application to open it is easily found.

I don't use MSWORD either.  I use open office.

Next month any objectives I send out will be in MS Word so if anyone can't open them they need to get that taken care of.

Did not know OO would convert to PDF! Cool feature! :)

It does raise a good point.

.pdf or .rtf (rich text format) or even Notepad with a .jpg, are all universally accessible formats.

My preference would be .rtf or .pdf versions, both universal formats supported by most applications, as included backup to all orders.

And if you really get messed up and find yourself with something you can't ready you can always use this little link.

http://media-convert.com/

I've used it many many times to convert from OO to Word and back and forth for friends.  I've even used it to convert flash, wmv, mov, pretty much anything and it's free.  If they're really busy it'll be queued for a little while or you can select to have them e-mail you with a download link when the file is ready.
