Trauma thats what i thought to but i wasn't sure if i would ever use Excel or anything other than word, if i have to i am gonna just have to do as you suggested.
CaprBri have you used COrel wordperfect someone else suggested that so i may look into that also i know those free trails are out there but i cannot fine them either, I downloaded that test drive off of Microsoft.com but it wouldn't let me do anything but type no printing or anything else
thanks guys
I used Corel when I was in high school for my computer class and didn't have any problems with it. I got a free microsoft trial when I got my new laptop. I have the Microsoft office now but I can honestly say that I have never used anything on it besides Word. If you got the money to then buy it, if not I would suggest seeing if places like circuit city or best buy has it.
I assume you have a PC with some version of Windows as your basic operating system? You can use the WordPad word processing program that comes built in to Windows -- it's on the "Accessories" drop-down menu. I don't have MS Office OR Word (have never felt the need to spend the money to get them), and have always done all my word processing -- up to and including my Master's thesis! -- on WordPad. It doesn't have quite as many bells and whistles as Word or WordPerfect, but it does have the advantage of being FREE.
Am I really the only person in America using WordPad?? :chuckle
Thanks everyone, I actually went to Corel.com and downlloaded wordperfect free 30 day trail and it is unrestricted so i can use all the features. Also i have been using wordpad forever and for the longest time i didnt know that it wasnt WORD, untill my English professor explained it to me
Make sure that you can use the 'other' word processors.
If you have to e-mail the paper, or upload it to send to the professor, make sure your professor can open the document.
Obviously, if you are turning in a printed document, it shouldn't matter.
(If the professor has to open it, you may need to use a school's computer...maybe at your school library).
