How to save Word 2007 as PDF

Hi Staff;

Now that we will all have Office 2007 on the WSD computers, I'd like to show you a useful tip on saving your documents as PDF.

This can come in handy when you're emailing your document to multiple people such as staff - they won't be able to edit it, and it will be presented to them exactly how you wanted.   It's also very nice if you just want to upload it to your blog, then the users at home can view it no matter what software they have on their computer.

Here's a 3 minute tutorial video:

Free substitute for Microsoft Office - OpenOffice.org

Hi Staff;

Many of you, like myself, do not have Microsoft Office on your home computer.  Many of your students are the same way. 

You can download and install a FREE (and legal) substitute for Microsoft Office called OpenOffice.org. 

It's a rather large download, but better than spending 200 bucks, in my opinion. 

You can open MS Office documents with OpenOffice.org, and you can also use OpenOffice.org to create documents and save them in a Microsoft format.

Here's a 3 minute video showing you how:

Office 2007 – How to change the default font size

Hi Staff;


Here's a short 1-1/2 minute video showing how you can change the default font size in Microsoft Office 2007.


Your default font will probably be Calibri size 11. Most of the world has a size 10 font by default, and probably in Arial font. If that doesn't bother you, no change is needed.


 

By the way, I wrote this blog post right from Word 2007. For a reminder on how to do that, click here:
