Answer - If students will need to manipulate the information in the documents, save them as Office 97 - 2003. To do this click on the Office Button, click Save As and use the drop down at the bottom of the dialog box to click on the appropriate file type. If students do not need to manipulate the information in the document, saving as a .pdf is the best option. This is also the best option for posting documents on BlackBoard. Follow the steps listed above but instead chose the Save As PDF option. If this option is not listed contact the IT department at ext, 4870 to have that plug-in installed.
