Do you have trouble opening documents from your instructors? Do you need to save documents as Word (.doc) files, but you don't have Microsoft Word? Try OpenOffice - www.openoffice.org. It has a word processor, spreadsheet and presentation software that are compatible with Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
Another option is Zoho - www.zoho.com - with a free online suite of productivity and collaboration applications including the Zoho Writer word processor. Documents can be exported as Word (.doc or .docx) and many other file formats.
Also try free online file conversion from Zamzar- http://zamzar.com/
* You can not substitute these programs if you are taking a class that requires Microsoft Office such as Word Processing, Computer Applications, or Personal Information Management.
