Turning in that paper? Want to bring your flash drive to give it to your teacher or print it at school?
Our student computers support Microsoft 2003. The best way to ensure that your paper will open here at school regardless of whether you use a PC or a Mac computer is when you save your work, instead of just saving it as a WORD DOCUMENT, save your paper as RICH TEXT. This is the best way to make sure you can open your paper at school.
