Windows XP for Dummies is a good book (I don't care for the
titles, but the entire "Dummies" series are well written for
the new computer user)
Microsoft Works is a good entry level program... includes a
word processor, a spreadsheet and a simple database (keep
track of all your addresses, recipes, etc)

For just an ordinary simple letter try Wordpad -
Start\All Progs - Accessories
You may or may nor have a more advanced Word-Processor on
your Computer but WordPad is fine to begin with

It would be easy to make this a long post, but I won't.
As a long time PC, and word processor, user (anybody remember
WordStar?), I'm still a novice with each new PC and OS. I'm 73, long
retired, and I found Lesley's request to use accepted netiquette to be
polite and succinct.
We should all consider the sensibilities of those dedicated people who
answer the same old cries for help day after day, by making our own
posts as readable as possible. This includes netiquette, as well as
proper capitalization, and punctuation (a gentle rebuke), to the best of
our abilities (my copout).

They weren't growling or shgouting at him. They are simply informing him
of Usenet conventions. How else is anyone to learn? Don't read more into a
post then is written.
