It has been noted that a number of students have access to MS Office 2007 at home. This can a cause a few issues with regards to compatibility. Students using MS Office 2007 need note that when they save a document, it will need to saved as a .Doc, NOT a .Docx, in order to ensure that it will open and work on school machines.

Those who do not possess an MS Office Suite or are looking to upgrade to MS Office 2007 may like to be aware that there is a FREE Office Suite available from Sun Microsystems called Open office.

This package contains 99% of the features that are available in all MS Office suites, and will open and save all Microsoft files from 2000 – 2007. It is also almost the same in terms of layout and functions, but without the cost. To find out more or to download the Office Suite, please use the link below.
