Tips for PC Users

For students with home computers lacking Appleworks / Clarisworks

Virtually all of the Charter School's computers use the Macintosh operating system, while most people's home computers use Windows. For best results when exchanging computer files between different computers, applications and operating systems, save your work in a generic format so that it is readable by the application on the other machine.

To save your work in a generic format...
Wordpro docs (e.g: Word) should be saved as Rich Text Format (RTF) or* ASCII Text (most compatibility, but text styling is lost).

Spreadsheets (e.g: Excel) should be saved as SYLK or* ASCII Text.

*For greatest liklihood of success, save your file in BOTH formats.
