Have an Office 2007 or Microsoft Works File That Cannot Be Opened? Introducing Zamzar . . .

Sometimes the documents we are working at from home may be too new or too different from the programs operating on campus. We may mean well to save files properly to the right format (such as Office 2003) but we forget. And now here we are on campus, and we want to work on and later print our finished homework assignments. What do we do?

As mentioned before last summer, we are now in a Web 2.0 environment. You need to convert a file so it will work with a computer on campus? Go to a site to do it for free!

Introducing Zamzar. Say goodbye to clogging up your hard drive at home with bunches of file converters. And don't feel at loss when you're using public computers such as those on campus where you can't download converters. At http://zamzar.com you can quickly convert your files within minutes and then get back to working on your assignments.

If you need any assistance, a librarian will be happy to show you how to do it (though remember, you cannot do this from our reference area computers--they do not read flash drives or disks).
