Note to Office 2007 Users

If you use the new Office 2007 it is important to save documents in the previous format (1997-2003) since ISY does not yet have this version and the school computers will not be able to read your files. After creating your document click the Office Button in the top left corner of your screen and select Save As, then the 97-2003 version of your application (e.g. Word 97-2003, Excel 97-2003, etc.).

For convenience, you can set this format by default, so you never have to worry about changing the setting. Simply follow these steps (see image below):

 a. Click the Office Button

 b. Select Options (Word Options, Excel Options, etc.) at the bottom of the window

 c. Select Save

 d. Use the drop down menu at the top to select default save format (97-2003)
