Those of you who do not have Micro$oft Office often worry that the work you do at home will not open at school. Macs and Linux machines save what you type in a different format and sometimes even Microsoft Works gives us problems. I discovered a great (and free) program that will help you with your school work. It is called SoftMaker Office 2006. This program is a lightweight Micro$oft Word and Excel program. It has spell checking, grammar checking and other important features. You can download it here. I played around with it for a while and I was very impressed.
You have to be careful when you save your work. Make sure you follow these steps:
- File
- Save As
- Microsoft Word 97/2000 (*.doc)
That’s all. Micro$oft Word and Excel for free. 
I like the sound of that. Let me know what you think in the comments.
