    You saved it as a txt file, which requires Windows Notepad to open......my computer wants to go on the internet to find Notepad to open it, and I won't let it, as I only use Word. Not sure what everyone else uses.

    Same problem here, would not open. Anyway, your instructor will not expect it to be perfect, so don't fret. Most instructors want some flaws to fix, makes them fill needed.:biggrin_25523:

    I opened it on the lap top but it is kind of unreadable. try to do it line by line rather than all as one long sentence...
    example

    Left elberton, ga at 0800 with 6.5 hours avail
    arrived lithonia, ga 0930 with 5 hours avail

    etc etc

    i tried to help but the file is confusing sorry
