Microsoft Office 2007:
Documents created in school will
be in the Microsoft Office 2007 format. If you create a document at school
that you will want to edit at home with an older version of Microsoft Office,
please be sure to save your work as a Word 97-2003 document, Excel 97-2003
Workbook, or PowerPoint 97-2003 Presentation. This will prevent not being able
to open your work at home. When you return to school, Microsoft Office 2007
will automatically be able to read this older version of your document.
