How Do I Save Save Files at Home to Be Able to Use Them at DACC?
• Many home computers come with Microsoft Works, not Word, installed. Many people may not even realize they don’t have Word. • Works is like a stripped down version of Word. When you open a Works file in Word (2007 will open it, previous versions would not without a special driver being installed), you will find that all of the formatting has been changed or stripped out. • Also Works will not be able to open a file once it has been processed in Word unless it has been saved in a translatable format. • If you must switch between programs, save your files in .rtf This format translates between all types of word processing software while maintaining formats. • If you’re on a budget, another option for your home computer is the OpenOffice suite of programs, which interacts with all commonly used programs such as Word. OpenOffice is a completely free suite of programs that has been developed and refined for more than 20 years by the open source movement.
